3
00:01:19,500 --> 00:01:21,292
- Morning.
4
00:01:21,375 --> 00:01:22,875
Good morning.
5
00:01:24,583 --> 00:01:27,792
So I thought I was going
to talk about something else,
6
00:01:27,875 --> 00:01:30,667
but the session we had on Wednesday,
7
00:01:31,625 --> 00:01:34,792
um, has been sticking with me.
And so,
8
00:01:34,875 --> 00:01:38,083
I went back to chapter 12
of Mission Mississippi.
9
00:01:38,167 --> 00:01:40,292
I wanna share just
a portion of it with you.
10
00:01:42,167 --> 00:01:45,167
"Another principle to be followed
is that..."
11
00:01:46,833 --> 00:01:49,917
"...it is fearlessness that enables us
12
00:01:51,125 --> 00:01:53,625
"to put ideas into practice.
13
00:01:54,542 --> 00:01:56,542
"In order to move the race forward,
14
00:01:57,875 --> 00:02:01,042
"one must be willing
to go against the majority
15
00:02:01,958 --> 00:02:04,958
and be content to stand alone."
16
00:02:06,042 --> 00:02:08,167
Laurence Jones has literally lived out
17
00:02:08,250 --> 00:02:11,875
and exemplified this final idea.
18
00:02:12,750 --> 00:02:15,208
That of establishing good will,
19
00:02:15,292 --> 00:02:18,042
but being ever fearless,
20
00:02:18,125 --> 00:02:21,000
in opening new horizons
for his people
21
00:02:21,083 --> 00:02:22,917
in this section of Mississippi.
22
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,125
Going it alone,
23
00:02:25,208 --> 00:02:27,917
as it were, in the early days.
24
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:33,083
We've been dealing with this issue
of fear and fearlessness.
25
00:02:34,458 --> 00:02:37,250
Here's the rub,
as I was thinking through this.
26
00:02:39,500 --> 00:02:43,333
I want all of you to have
the kind of fearlessness
27
00:02:43,417 --> 00:02:45,667
that allows you to be leaders.
28
00:02:48,750 --> 00:02:51,250
But that kind of fearlessness...
29
00:02:53,625 --> 00:02:57,250
is one that is not about you.
30
00:03:00,250 --> 00:03:03,750
It's a fearlessness for
something bigger than you!
31
00:03:04,792 --> 00:03:08,167
It's a fearlessness for
something other than you!
32
00:03:10,583 --> 00:03:12,583
Laurence Jones, right,
33
00:03:12,667 --> 00:03:15,958
founded this place in
the days of segregation.
34
00:03:17,250 --> 00:03:20,875
A fearlessness, as it was chronicled,
35
00:03:20,958 --> 00:03:22,375
going it alone.
36
00:03:25,958 --> 00:03:29,917
I wish all of us
the freedom of fearlessness
37
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:35,333
that's not for us,
but for something bigger than us.
38
00:03:36,083 --> 00:03:37,958
- Repeat after me. I will be...
- I will be...
39
00:03:38,042 --> 00:03:40,167
- Honest... trustworthy...
- Honest... trustworthy...
40
00:03:40,250 --> 00:03:41,500
- ...and respectful.
- ...and respectful.
41
00:03:41,583 --> 00:03:42,958
- I will not...
- I will not...
42
00:03:43,042 --> 00:03:44,792
- ...lie, cheat...
- ...lie, cheat...
43
00:03:44,875 --> 00:03:47,042
- ...or steal.
- ...or steal.
44
00:03:47,125 --> 00:03:49,167
Live life exponentially,
45
00:03:49,250 --> 00:03:52,458
practice love, have integrity,
46
00:03:52,542 --> 00:03:54,750
keep the faith, strive for excellence,
and be empowered.
47
00:03:54,833 --> 00:03:57,875
Have a wonderful rest of your day.
God bless you.
48
00:03:57,958 --> 00:03:59,833
- You're in the hands of Miss Crossley.
- Good morning, everyone.
49
00:03:59,917 --> 00:04:00,917

Okay, Maurice. Maurice.
61
00:05:07,167 --> 00:05:09,042
Do me a favor--
62
00:05:09,125 --> 00:05:11,833
do me a favor
and find me some paper towels.
63
00:05:11,917 --> 00:05:14,333
- We don't have any.
64
00:05:14,417 --> 00:05:16,208
I know. Just find me...
65
00:05:18,833 --> 00:05:23,750
Now, we know that a lot
of children go through what?
66
00:05:23,833 --> 00:05:25,042
Trauma?
67
00:05:25,125 --> 00:05:26,250
They go through trauma.
68
00:05:26,333 --> 00:05:29,000
They're not only abused.
They also see their what?
69
00:05:30,042 --> 00:05:32,792
- Parents.
- They also see their parent...
70
00:05:32,875 --> 00:05:35,583
So, what you're doing
is mixing potting soil
71
00:05:35,667 --> 00:05:37,875
- with peat moss.
- Yeah.
72
00:05:37,958 --> 00:05:40,500
What that does, it gives nutrients.
73
00:05:40,583 --> 00:05:43,583
The potting soil gives nutrients,
but the peat moss, actually,
74
00:05:43,667 --> 00:05:46,583
it gives the roots
a little room to expand
75
00:05:46,667 --> 00:05:48,417
- once the seed germinates.
- Yeah.
76
00:05:48,500 --> 00:05:50,542
Seed something from start to finish
like you're doing now.
77
00:05:50,625 --> 00:05:54,208
You're finna start some starter plants,
it's gonna come from a little seed,
78
00:05:54,292 --> 00:05:56,375
and then, you'll be able to eat from it.
79
00:05:56,458 --> 00:05:59,417
Now you'll be able
to feed yourself at least.
80
00:05:59,500 --> 00:06:01,458
- Of course, dawg.
81
00:06:01,958 --> 00:06:04,125
Alright, AB. Go ahead.
82
00:06:04,208 --> 00:06:06,583
I mean, if you look at it globally,
83
00:06:06,667 --> 00:06:09,458
the future would give a better
opportunity for a lot of people.
84
00:06:09,542 --> 00:06:11,167
Like, it's more globalized.
85
00:06:11,250 --> 00:06:13,667
So the faster we could sell
and buy products
86
00:06:13,750 --> 00:06:16,125
from other countries,
the better it is.
87
00:06:16,208 --> 00:06:18,083
- This is my favorite.
- Yeah. "If you stick a knife
88
00:06:18,167 --> 00:06:22,333
"into my back nine inches
and pulled out three inches,
89
00:06:22,417 --> 00:06:24,917
that's not progress." Why?
90
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,375
"Even if you pull it
all the way out, that is not progress.
91
00:06:28,458 --> 00:06:30,000
"Progress is healing the wound,
92
00:06:30,083 --> 00:06:33,042
and America hasn't even
begun to pull the knife out."
93
00:06:34,208 --> 00:06:36,250
Working with Brown,
it gave me a lot of experience
94
00:06:36,333 --> 00:06:39,208
with a lot of different things.
It's a lot of connections, too.
95
00:06:39,292 --> 00:06:42,875
I had never ever thought
that I was gonna be working
96
00:06:42,958 --> 00:06:45,917
for a university,
specifically in public health.
97
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,958
In other words, you know
I believe in corporal punishment.
98
00:06:49,042 --> 00:06:51,583
No. I don't believe in whoopings
as punishment.
99
00:06:52,542 --> 00:06:54,042
- 'Cause it has--
- I do.
100
00:06:54,125 --> 00:06:56,375
I don't 'cause it
usually has nothing to do
101
00:06:56,458 --> 00:06:58,750
with the punishment,
and it doesn't change the behavior.
102
00:06:58,833 --> 00:07:01,292
- A whooping is not a beating.
- Yes, it is!
103
00:07:03,500 --> 00:07:06,667
Alright, so these
are your pepper seeds,
104
00:07:06,750 --> 00:07:08,458
so put 'em in here.
This is your seeder.
105
00:07:08,542 --> 00:07:09,542
Okay.
106
00:07:09,625 --> 00:07:12,208
Just pick you up some
kinda like this.
107
00:07:12,292 --> 00:07:13,917
- Okay.
- Just...
108
00:07:14,958 --> 00:07:18,000
And you just gonna fill 'em up to the top.
You don't have to pack it. Just fill 'em.
109
00:07:18,083 --> 00:07:21,167
- It teaches a lot of responsibility.
- Alright.
110
00:07:21,250 --> 00:07:24,792
Alright, 'cause it's always--
Even though it's just plants,
111
00:07:24,875 --> 00:07:26,750
it has to be tended to, taken care of.
112
00:07:26,833 --> 00:07:30,333
So, you'd have to come down here
and check on 'em
113
00:07:30,417 --> 00:07:31,958
and make sure they're watered and...
114
00:07:33,500 --> 00:07:35,542
You have to treat it like it's your baby.
115
00:07:35,625 --> 00:07:37,375
I think fair trade would be the best.
116
00:07:37,458 --> 00:07:40,000
Best jobs, better working conditions,
get paid more.
117
00:07:40,083 --> 00:07:42,000
You can't afford it though. Oh, my bad.
118
00:07:42,083 --> 00:07:43,917
- You can't afford fair--
- Khareym, hit it.
119
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,375
Progress will be acknowledging,
"Hey, I stabbed you in the back."
120
00:07:48,500 --> 00:07:50,667
Then, healing the wound...
121
00:07:50,750 --> 00:07:51,792
Apologizing.
122
00:07:51,875 --> 00:07:55,042
...by making life equitable
for Black people.
123
00:07:55,125 --> 00:07:57,583
At the time of the Brown Project,
124
00:07:57,667 --> 00:08:00,167
that was when all of the different things
started happening
125
00:08:00,250 --> 00:08:02,292
- with the water in Mississippi.
- Water prices.
126
00:08:02,375 --> 00:08:06,042
Like, the cost of bottled water not only,
127
00:08:06,125 --> 00:08:09,667
but also the fact that Jackson didn't have
128
00:08:09,750 --> 00:08:12,042
good water at all.
Like, the water was brown.
129
00:08:12,125 --> 00:08:14,875
They were under a boil water notices.
And so, at that point in time,
130
00:08:14,958 --> 00:08:17,167
it was kind of a priority for us
131
00:08:17,250 --> 00:08:20,583
to really focus on water
more than the other things.
132
00:08:20,667 --> 00:08:24,083
But as that kind of like slowed down,
133
00:08:24,167 --> 00:08:26,500
I guess you can say kind of
got controlled a little bit,
134
00:08:26,583 --> 00:08:30,292
then we started working on air and noise.
135
00:08:30,917 --> 00:08:33,542
Okay, so say your child
is talkin' smart to you, right?
136
00:08:33,625 --> 00:08:35,625
And then you go ahead,
you beat your child.
137
00:08:35,708 --> 00:08:37,500
So what your child's supposed
to do when she in school,
138
00:08:37,583 --> 00:08:38,875
somebody talks smart to her?
She gonna be like,
139
00:08:38,958 --> 00:08:40,917
"Oh, let me beat you,"
you know what I'm saying?
140
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:42,500
Children learn from seeing and not--
141
00:08:42,583 --> 00:08:44,542
"I'm only doing it 'cause I love you."
142
00:08:48,583 --> 00:08:52,000
This is not love.
You beating me is not love.
143
00:08:52,083 --> 00:08:53,917
- Yes, it is.
- Okay, alright.
144
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,542
- And it's not gonna change--
- Okay, y'all.
145
00:08:56,625 --> 00:08:59,083
You all can finish this
conversation during lunch.
146
00:08:59,167 --> 00:09:01,833
That will give you something
to talk about, okay?
147
00:09:01,917 --> 00:09:03,583
That doesn't have to, like--
148
00:09:03,667 --> 00:09:06,292
You're saying, like, they can
just resource out to where--
149
00:09:06,375 --> 00:09:09,417
Yeah, in free trade. In free trade,
they're just gonna resource it out.
150
00:09:09,500 --> 00:09:12,333
In fair trade-- Yeah, I agree.
And that's a problem.
151
00:09:13,500 --> 00:09:16,333
If you ask me that question,
I don't know how to solve it.
152
00:09:16,417 --> 00:09:19,708
♪ Said I'm beautiful ♪
153
00:09:20,667 --> 00:09:22,375
But you see
how when we backtracked,
154
00:09:22,458 --> 00:09:24,875
it all pieced together, right?
155
00:09:24,958 --> 00:09:27,958
So, it's coming together,
making a little bit more sense.
156
00:09:38,375 --> 00:09:40,583
- Hey, Miss Dur.
- Yeah, darling?
157
00:09:40,667 --> 00:09:42,458
What did you need?
158
00:09:42,542 --> 00:09:44,083
Hey, Miss Dur. I miss you so much.
159
00:09:44,167 --> 00:09:46,542
I didn't say nothing.
I said, "Hey, Miss Dur." Oh!
160
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,792
Miss Dur,
can you save me some cornbread?
161
00:09:50,875 --> 00:09:52,167
- Please.
- Already?
162
00:09:52,250 --> 00:09:54,458
- Yes, already!
- Ha. Already.
163
00:09:57,625 --> 00:10:00,167
Man.
164
00:10:01,375 --> 00:10:03,417
- I'm gonna sit right there.
- What's good, man?
165
00:10:03,500 --> 00:10:06,875
- What class you just came from?
- I just got from chemistry.
166
00:10:06,958 --> 00:10:10,208
So, who y'all teacher
for that block, Dr. Bowen?
167
00:10:10,292 --> 00:10:13,292
- Miss K ours.
- Oh, y'all got lucky.
168
00:10:13,375 --> 00:10:16,917
- How is that? What?
- Every time, y'all get lucky.
169
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,458
- English teacher.
- Don't say that.
170
00:10:18,542 --> 00:10:20,500
- No, I don't care. English teacher.
171
00:10:20,583 --> 00:10:22,458
Y'all get lucky.
Y'all barely even have to do the work.
172
00:10:22,542 --> 00:10:25,083
That's not true.
We have good discussions in class.
173
00:10:25,167 --> 00:10:26,750
Yeah, I was talking to Jeremy,
174
00:10:26,833 --> 00:10:31,167
and he was just telling me
how he wants us to get more...
175
00:10:31,250 --> 00:10:33,500
more knowledgeable about how to
176
00:10:33,583 --> 00:10:35,625
use the tools and stuff in the farm.
177
00:10:35,708 --> 00:10:38,083
So, we need to like be able to--
178
00:10:38,167 --> 00:10:42,417
Yeah, when I used to be here--
when I used to, I'm still here-- but,
179
00:10:42,500 --> 00:10:46,333
you know, my earlier years,
we used to do a lot of stuff on the farm.
180
00:10:46,417 --> 00:10:48,792
We used to have horseback riding.
181
00:10:48,875 --> 00:10:51,500
We used to kind of do
a lot with the greenhouse.
182
00:10:51,583 --> 00:10:53,333
I think Mr. Jeremy doing
a good job though.
183
00:10:53,417 --> 00:10:54,625
Yeah. Jeremy doing good, yeah.
184
00:10:56,250 --> 00:10:57,500
- What up, AB?
- What's up, AB?
185
00:10:57,583 --> 00:10:59,583
Is that strawberry in the salad?
186
00:10:59,667 --> 00:11:02,667
That's different.
That's different.
187
00:11:02,750 --> 00:11:06,625
In class, we talked about
like how Malcolm thought--
188
00:11:06,708 --> 00:11:10,167
Like when he was looking back on his life,
he was thinking like, why did I wear--
189
00:11:10,250 --> 00:11:13,583
You know, in the book,
when he was wearing his hair in a conk,
190
00:11:13,667 --> 00:11:16,333
he was trying to be in
proximity to whiteness.
191
00:11:16,417 --> 00:11:18,333
And he was looking back,
and he felt ashamed
192
00:11:18,417 --> 00:11:21,500
that he had to do that
to himself to, like, fit in.
193
00:11:21,583 --> 00:11:25,542
I feel like, at one point,
everybody has like done something
194
00:11:25,625 --> 00:11:28,708
to try to fit in or try to be...
195
00:11:29,625 --> 00:11:32,292
or try to abide to the social norm,
196
00:11:32,375 --> 00:11:35,458
when, I mean, that's not really necessary.
197
00:11:35,542 --> 00:11:37,583
I'm not even talking
about social norms though.
198
00:11:37,667 --> 00:11:39,875
I'm talking about white people. Like--
199
00:11:39,958 --> 00:11:42,958
- Okay, like, even trying to--
- You never?
200
00:11:43,042 --> 00:11:45,167
- I have.
- Trying to be more white?
201
00:11:45,250 --> 00:11:47,917
'Cause I never been in like
a majority white community.
202
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,708
Like, I never been at an all-white school
or nothing like that.
203
00:11:51,792 --> 00:11:53,417
Like, sometimes I'd be like...
204
00:11:54,333 --> 00:11:58,833
Well, I guess. Sometimes, like,
I used to wish my hair was longer
205
00:11:58,917 --> 00:12:00,958
or like somethin' like that.
206
00:12:01,042 --> 00:12:03,875
But, I don't know if that was
an insecurity within myself.
207
00:12:03,958 --> 00:12:06,042
But, I used to be like,
"My hair not long enough,
208
00:12:06,125 --> 00:12:08,458
my hair too curly," so I guess I have.
209
00:12:08,542 --> 00:12:12,417
Because I don't really wanna stay
in the South when I get older, so...
210
00:12:12,500 --> 00:12:14,333
- Why not?
- I don't know. I'm tired of it,
211
00:12:14,417 --> 00:12:16,125
- to be honest with you.
- The South. Really?
212
00:12:16,208 --> 00:12:18,458
- Yeah.
- Why?
213
00:12:18,542 --> 00:12:21,042
The political side of it,
I'm tired of it.
214
00:12:21,667 --> 00:12:25,500
It's, it's, it's different
being here in the South,
215
00:12:25,583 --> 00:12:29,000
but it feels home sometimes.
It's 50/50 with me.
216
00:12:29,083 --> 00:12:32,667
I don't know, I feel like I have
a perspective of where I'm just,
217
00:12:32,750 --> 00:12:34,333
you know, I'm dark-skinned.
218
00:12:34,417 --> 00:12:37,917
- I'm like the typical stereotype.
- Right, right.
219
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,708
So, I just get tired of
like, you know, the typical...
220
00:12:42,500 --> 00:12:45,667
I'm looked at as like
maybe a thug or a criminal.
221
00:12:45,750 --> 00:12:48,375
Like I can't get my ears pierced.
My mom won't let me get my ears pierced
222
00:12:48,458 --> 00:12:51,375
because she told me
she doesn't really want me
223
00:12:51,458 --> 00:12:53,417
to kind of fit that stereotype
224
00:12:53,500 --> 00:12:56,333
of ears pierced, pants sagging.
225
00:12:56,417 --> 00:12:58,042
So, it's a lot of stuff I can't do
226
00:12:58,125 --> 00:13:00,917
because of what others
would think, which is sad,
227
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,167
but that's just how it is though.
228
00:13:03,250 --> 00:13:05,250
I mean, you know,
I kind of fit the description...
229
00:13:06,625 --> 00:13:08,958
physically of, you know, the stereotypes.
230
00:13:09,042 --> 00:13:12,750
AB, how's it for you, though?
Being pure African.
231
00:13:12,833 --> 00:13:15,750
I mean, I haven't
actually seen the South.
232
00:13:15,833 --> 00:13:17,750
I haven't actually seen America.
233
00:13:17,833 --> 00:13:19,417
But, Piney Wood,
234
00:13:19,500 --> 00:13:21,792
I think it adopted
some styles and culture,
235
00:13:21,875 --> 00:13:23,500
and I actually enjoyed.
236
00:13:23,583 --> 00:13:24,667
First, when I came here, I was scared
237
00:13:24,750 --> 00:13:27,375
'cause, you know, Mississippi.
It's Mississippi.
238
00:13:27,458 --> 00:13:30,542
My uncle's from North Carolina, DC.
239
00:13:30,625 --> 00:13:33,667
They told me like,
"Do not talk to anybody."
240
00:13:33,750 --> 00:13:35,625
- The Black people are thugs,
241
00:13:35,708 --> 00:13:38,167
- the white people wanna kill you, so...
- What?
242
00:13:38,250 --> 00:13:41,625
But they dismantled the stereotypes,
so I think the most important thing
243
00:13:41,708 --> 00:13:43,375
is dismantling stereotypes.
244
00:13:43,458 --> 00:13:44,958
It happens amongst Black people, too.
245
00:13:45,042 --> 00:13:48,750
Like, it's not just white people
who push norms onto you.
246
00:13:48,833 --> 00:13:50,833
It's Black people
because when I came here,
247
00:13:50,917 --> 00:13:52,542
and all I listened to was Harry Styles,
248
00:13:52,625 --> 00:13:54,333
y'all wanted to say
I didn't listen to Black music.
249
00:13:54,417 --> 00:13:56,958
I thought it was funny that
you listened to Harry Styles the most,
250
00:13:57,042 --> 00:14:00,500
but I never thought that
you never listened to Black music.
251
00:14:00,583 --> 00:14:04,542
I wouldn't say it was the white music.
I think it was just Harry Styles.
252
00:14:04,625 --> 00:14:07,875
Yeah, it was just Harry Styles
in general.
253
00:14:07,958 --> 00:14:10,583
I sometimes dawn on AB's situation
254
00:14:10,667 --> 00:14:12,875
because he's, he's African.
255
00:14:12,958 --> 00:14:14,500
He's not Black. He's African.
256
00:14:14,583 --> 00:14:16,667
Being in America,
if you were to stay here,
257
00:14:16,750 --> 00:14:20,000
people would categorize you as Black,
which is not true, so.
258
00:14:20,083 --> 00:14:22,000
- It is.
- No, it's not.
259
00:14:22,792 --> 00:14:24,292
I've heard you talk white,
260
00:14:24,375 --> 00:14:28,042
but it's only because
I was talking, like, politically
261
00:14:28,125 --> 00:14:31,250
instead of, like, with broken English.
262
00:14:31,333 --> 00:14:33,125
And it's offensive because it's like...
263
00:14:34,083 --> 00:14:35,792
a Black girl can't talk like that
264
00:14:35,875 --> 00:14:38,333
without being perceived as white,
or like white is right--
265
00:14:38,417 --> 00:14:42,083
- Or if people take advantage of you.
- People who talk politically are white.
266
00:14:42,167 --> 00:14:45,958
- It don't make sense.
- You're perceived as smarter.
267
00:14:46,042 --> 00:14:49,583
Yeah. It's a difference in how
I'ma talk to Cesar,
268
00:14:49,667 --> 00:14:53,458
Savannah, Amari, and Keith,
and how I'ma talk to...
269
00:14:53,542 --> 00:14:56,208
But is that code switching
or just being professional?
270
00:14:56,292 --> 00:14:59,833
In how I talk to Miss Crossley,
or how I would talk to...
271
00:14:59,917 --> 00:15:02,542
Like you just said,
you wouldn't talk to your friend
272
00:15:02,625 --> 00:15:04,333
- how you talk to your boss.
- Right.
273
00:15:04,417 --> 00:15:07,542
Like, and that's just like-- that's-that's
being-- that's having a professional life.
274
00:15:07,625 --> 00:15:09,667
But I feel like Black people do it more.
275
00:15:09,750 --> 00:15:12,000
You code switch with your friends
and with your boss,
276
00:15:12,083 --> 00:15:14,625
but we have to code switch
with different groups,
277
00:15:14,708 --> 00:15:17,958
with different, like, races, everything,
278
00:15:18,042 --> 00:15:21,792
to seem more receivable or acceptable.
279
00:15:21,875 --> 00:15:23,750
Like if I'm talking to
a group of white people,
280
00:15:23,833 --> 00:15:27,750
I may change my tone into a softer,
like, you know...
281
00:15:27,833 --> 00:15:28,875
You know what I'm saying?
282
00:15:28,958 --> 00:15:32,792
Like just so they can understand
or like be able to hear me.
283
00:15:32,875 --> 00:15:34,333
But you're African,
like, you're not--
284
00:15:34,417 --> 00:15:35,417
You weren't born here,
285
00:15:35,500 --> 00:15:37,833
so being in America,
they would categorize you as Black,
286
00:15:37,917 --> 00:15:39,375
then they'll start treating
you like you're Black.
287
00:15:39,458 --> 00:15:41,750
Then, you'll kind of fall in like the--
288
00:15:41,833 --> 00:15:44,750
- The stereotype, the category.
- Yeah, the stereotypes.
289
00:15:44,833 --> 00:15:48,042
You just following the pictures of
what Black people are made to be.
290
00:15:48,125 --> 00:15:52,667
So, I feel like it's hard
because, regardless, like,
291
00:15:52,750 --> 00:15:55,333
I feel like in the South,
only speaking for the South,
292
00:15:55,417 --> 00:15:58,000
like if you were to go to
like a grocery store,
293
00:15:58,083 --> 00:16:00,458
just anywhere, and you know,
like, "Yeah, no, I'm African."
294
00:16:00,542 --> 00:16:03,583
They're like, "No, you're Black."
Like, "No, I'm from Ethiopia.
295
00:16:03,667 --> 00:16:05,000
You know what I'm sayin'?
I'm Black."
296
00:16:05,083 --> 00:16:06,542
People are like, "No, you're--"
You know what I'm saying?
297
00:16:06,625 --> 00:16:08,333
You're a black guy.
You're just another Black guy.
298
00:16:08,417 --> 00:16:10,958
- Yeah.
- I think it's something.
299
00:16:11,042 --> 00:16:14,417
It's a bigger issue than
just Black and white.
300
00:16:14,500 --> 00:16:17,292
- I think there's so many...
- Yeah. Variables to it.
301
00:16:17,375 --> 00:16:21,625
I understand what you're saying,
but one thing and foremost to clarify,
302
00:16:21,708 --> 00:16:24,958
I am Black,
and Ethiopians are Black-Black.
303
00:16:25,042 --> 00:16:30,167
We're one of the pioneers of
a lot of... Pan-Africanism.
304
00:16:30,250 --> 00:16:33,708
But like, I get what you're saying.
Like, there's different shades of Black.
305
00:16:33,792 --> 00:16:36,083
There's different cultures
of Black people.
306
00:16:36,167 --> 00:16:38,458
And like conjoining them,
like it's what Mr. Gonzalez say.
307
00:16:38,542 --> 00:16:41,000
Like, when you come here,
you're just Latin.
308
00:16:41,083 --> 00:16:42,875
Even though you might be from Spain, Cuba,
309
00:16:42,958 --> 00:16:45,792
they're completely different cultures.
310
00:16:45,875 --> 00:16:48,583
If you come here from Ethiopia,
Egypt, South Africa,
311
00:16:48,667 --> 00:16:50,833
Rwanda, Botswana, Congo,
312
00:16:50,917 --> 00:16:53,417
it's totally different languages, cultures.
313
00:16:53,500 --> 00:16:55,167
- Right.
- But you're just classifying a group.
314
00:16:55,250 --> 00:16:57,542
But like, if you're from Europe,
then why are you just like,
315
00:16:57,625 --> 00:16:59,542
-"Oh, you're French."
- I disagree.
316
00:16:59,625 --> 00:17:02,708
They respect your culture.
They know the uniqueness.
317
00:17:02,792 --> 00:17:05,625
I can't go to Ethiopia and be like,
"Yeah, I'm African, man."
318
00:17:05,708 --> 00:17:07,917
- But I don't understand like--
- What it means to be...
319
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,292
I don't understand what it actually means
to be African or I can't-- I can't, like--
320
00:17:11,375 --> 00:17:14,417
But Black is Black. It's a color.
321
00:17:14,500 --> 00:17:16,417
It's not like a culture.
322
00:17:16,500 --> 00:17:18,875
When you say Black,
I think you're meaning African American.
323
00:17:18,958 --> 00:17:21,167
Yes, I can't I'm say African American.
324
00:17:21,250 --> 00:17:23,542
I'm not. I'm just African.
325
00:17:26,875 --> 00:17:30,292
Sometimes, I'll be like,
it's not enough time in the day.
326
00:17:30,375 --> 00:17:31,875
And when you do have time,
327
00:17:31,958 --> 00:17:34,417
make sure that you're
using every last bit of it.
328
00:17:34,500 --> 00:17:37,417
Like when I'm in choir,
I don't waste Pastor David's time.
329
00:17:37,500 --> 00:17:39,958
Like, I do what I'm set there to do,
330
00:17:40,042 --> 00:17:42,167

00:19:49,500 --> 00:19:52,542
And you know, I really, really,
really should've listened to y'all.
357
00:19:52,625 --> 00:19:55,167
Y'all remember like
a year back when I asked,
358
00:19:55,250 --> 00:19:56,917
I was like, "I wanna go to Piney Woods."
359
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,333
And then y'all was like,
"You better be ready."
360
00:19:59,417 --> 00:20:01,125
And I was like, "It is not that bad."
361
00:20:01,208 --> 00:20:04,333
- And then I came here, I was like, "Lord."
- See?
362
00:20:04,417 --> 00:20:06,667
"If you get me outta this,
I won't ever ask again."
363
00:20:06,750 --> 00:20:08,667
- Well no, I love Piney Woods,
364
00:20:08,750 --> 00:20:10,500
but I'm just saying I should've
been more prepared.
365
00:20:10,583 --> 00:20:11,917
We did. I told you.
366
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,000
Like, you gotta, you gotta have
a different type of armor.
367
00:20:15,083 --> 00:20:17,167
- Armor? Armor.
- Armor. Armor.
368
00:20:17,250 --> 00:20:19,792
That's not funny. That is not funny.
That's not funny.
369
00:20:24,708 --> 00:20:26,667
- Well I told you this already, but like,
370
00:20:26,750 --> 00:20:29,500
my mom tricked me here because if she had
told me that I was gonna go
371
00:20:29,583 --> 00:20:33,500
to a boarding school in Mississippi
for like a whole school year,
372
00:20:33,583 --> 00:20:36,000
I totally would not
have gotten on a plane.
373
00:20:36,083 --> 00:20:38,292
I would've wasted her money probably.
374
00:20:38,375 --> 00:20:41,167
Sometimes, I do have to be
375
00:20:41,250 --> 00:20:43,750
a lot more mature here than at home.
376
00:20:43,833 --> 00:20:46,708
Like at home, I can be just regular Mya.
377
00:20:46,792 --> 00:20:51,125
- Goofy, just act the fool, crazy.
- Happy. Yeah. Mm-hmm.
378
00:20:51,208 --> 00:20:54,875
But here,
I have to like maintain an image,
379
00:20:54,958 --> 00:20:57,458
so that I can keep on, um...
380
00:20:58,417 --> 00:21:00,750
receiving things from people,
whether it be
381
00:21:00,833 --> 00:21:03,208
like opportunities or whatever.
382
00:21:03,292 --> 00:21:05,875
Like I just have to maintain
383
00:21:05,958 --> 00:21:09,458
a level of professionalism
because I'm still at school.
384
00:21:14,458 --> 00:21:16,417
Most of the things
that I've been through, witnessed,
385
00:21:16,500 --> 00:21:19,542
and experienced
really prepared me
386
00:21:19,625 --> 00:21:22,750
for what people will call adulthood.
387
00:21:22,833 --> 00:21:26,042
Like, taking care of yourself,
paying bills,
388
00:21:26,125 --> 00:21:28,833
and looking, looking after yourself,
389
00:21:28,917 --> 00:21:31,625
looking after kids.
390
00:21:31,708 --> 00:21:33,750
Since I've been at Piney Woods,
391
00:21:33,833 --> 00:21:36,583
I've kind of been unlocking
392
00:21:36,667 --> 00:21:40,458
more of like a, a, a childish behavior
393
00:21:41,417 --> 00:21:46,083
because it feels more freeing,
and I never really got to be a child,
394
00:21:46,167 --> 00:21:48,167
I guess you could say.
395
00:21:48,250 --> 00:21:52,292
So, kind of reliving all
my childhood right now.
396
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,042
At home, I don't have to put on like...
397
00:21:58,917 --> 00:22:00,833
impress people, I guess.
398
00:22:00,917 --> 00:22:02,583
Well, it's hard for me sometimes,
399
00:22:02,667 --> 00:22:06,792
but what makes it easier is knowing,
being considerate of other people.
400
00:22:06,875 --> 00:22:09,000
Like, I know you.
I could call my mama,
401
00:22:09,083 --> 00:22:11,333
- and she could be here in like 15 minutes.
- Mm-hmm.
402
00:22:11,417 --> 00:22:12,917
But you could call your mama,
403
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:14,917
and she might say,
"Yeah, I'll come get you,"
404
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,167
but you still gonna have to
be here for like another day.
405
00:22:17,250 --> 00:22:19,083
♪ Smile ♪
406
00:22:19,167 --> 00:22:22,750
It really shows you
how much you don't need people
407
00:22:22,833 --> 00:22:25,583
'cause a lot of people will make you
dependent on them
408
00:22:25,667 --> 00:22:27,667
when you really don't need to be.
409
00:22:27,750 --> 00:22:29,125
So, I mean you just...
410
00:22:31,417 --> 00:22:33,583
...kinda learn how to do it on your own.
411
00:22:35,875 --> 00:22:38,750
- I guess, but, um...
412
00:22:51,792 --> 00:22:54,292
Good afternoon. Good afternoon.
413
00:22:56,792 --> 00:23:00,750
If you look at our revenue streams,
414
00:23:02,417 --> 00:23:04,917
fundraising is number one.
415
00:23:06,125 --> 00:23:08,125
That's dollars from individuals.
416
00:23:09,083 --> 00:23:12,792
So, number one, donate--
People writing checks.
417
00:23:13,292 --> 00:23:15,750
That's the number one, uh...
418
00:23:16,750 --> 00:23:19,208
revenue stream that we have.
419
00:23:19,292 --> 00:23:23,000
And then grants and contracts
are right behind that.
420
00:23:24,500 --> 00:23:26,375
Federal grants that we're receiving,
421
00:23:27,708 --> 00:23:29,583
some of the contractual work
that we're doing
422
00:23:29,667 --> 00:23:32,083
under certain federal programs.
423
00:23:33,667 --> 00:23:37,542
All of that is, uh,
it's how we make this work.
424
00:23:39,500 --> 00:23:41,417
To give you an example of the,
you know,
425
00:23:41,500 --> 00:23:44,250
we just did a little refresh
in the dining hall.
426
00:23:44,333 --> 00:23:46,083
It's so new!
427
00:23:46,167 --> 00:23:48,250
Everything is just so new and improved!
428
00:23:48,333 --> 00:23:51,792
None of that was paid for
because parents are paying tuition.
429
00:23:51,875 --> 00:23:55,333
- Yeah.
- That all came through donating.
430
00:23:56,667 --> 00:24:00,042
Without, without that,
we wouldn't be able to do this work.
431
00:24:01,125 --> 00:24:02,750
- So...
- You know,
432
00:24:02,833 --> 00:24:06,750
I think when you look at
the percentage of grants
433
00:24:06,833 --> 00:24:10,333
that we would secure years ago,
434
00:24:10,417 --> 00:24:14,000
it would only take up
maybe 5% of the budget.
435
00:24:14,083 --> 00:24:17,083
But now, I think we're
probably contributing,
436
00:24:17,167 --> 00:24:20,375
like, 25% of the operating budget,
437
00:24:20,458 --> 00:24:24,417
and it reaches across
all facets of the campus,
438
00:24:24,500 --> 00:24:26,417
from academics with the students
439
00:24:26,500 --> 00:24:29,333
and scholarship in the classroom,
440
00:24:29,417 --> 00:24:31,333
like the Social Justice Grant,
441
00:24:31,417 --> 00:24:34,458
and allowing the kids to go on field trips
442
00:24:34,542 --> 00:24:37,667
that we probably would
not be able to pay for.
443
00:24:37,750 --> 00:24:39,625
Then we look at summer camp.
444
00:24:39,708 --> 00:24:42,583
We look at the operations of the school,
445
00:24:42,667 --> 00:24:45,958
how we're able to renovate buildings.
The farm.
446
00:24:46,042 --> 00:24:50,375
So, when Dr. Jones created this,
you know,
447
00:24:50,458 --> 00:24:54,625
the students were building
literally each building by hand,
448
00:24:54,708 --> 00:24:58,417
and all of that was around
self-sustainability.
449
00:24:58,500 --> 00:25:02,792
The farm was what was sustaining them
from a health point.
450
00:25:02,875 --> 00:25:05,750
Hopefully, we'll get to a full,
what I call,
451
00:25:05,833 --> 00:25:10,833
a classroom-to-field-to-table,
452
00:25:10,917 --> 00:25:14,333
which will be our dining service,
to market.
453
00:25:14,417 --> 00:25:19,292
There are so many careers
in agriculture for Black students,
454
00:25:19,375 --> 00:25:22,375
so we wanna get them
interested in those careers
455
00:25:22,458 --> 00:25:24,542
starting in the ninth grade here.
456
00:25:24,625 --> 00:25:26,750
So, we're working out the schedule
457
00:25:26,833 --> 00:25:30,417
so they can spend more time on the farm,
for those who are interested.
458
00:25:30,500 --> 00:25:33,333
Not every child is gonna
wanna work on the farm.
459
00:25:33,417 --> 00:25:37,292
So, we're trying to hone in on those
who really have a interest,
460
00:25:37,375 --> 00:25:39,708
and working into their work program
461
00:25:39,792 --> 00:25:41,833
that they can spend that time
working on the farm.
462
00:25:41,917 --> 00:25:43,625
When this grant is over,
463
00:25:43,708 --> 00:25:46,667
we'll be able to sustain
the farmer's market every year,
464
00:25:46,750 --> 00:25:50,500
our sales from what we produce
and sell on the farm.
465
00:25:50,583 --> 00:25:52,875
And also the cafeteria
466
00:25:52,958 --> 00:25:54,458
'cause I know it will help the budget
467
00:25:54,542 --> 00:25:58,208
if we can produce a lot
of vegetables and things.
468
00:25:58,292 --> 00:26:00,583
We have different breeds of cattle.
469
00:26:00,667 --> 00:26:03,708
We have eight brand-new calves.
470
00:26:03,792 --> 00:26:07,167
We're looking at
down the road to get hogs,
471
00:26:07,250 --> 00:26:10,792
so we can really be able to
sustain ourselves 100% like they used to.
472
00:26:11,875 --> 00:26:16,167
Um, I'm confident, I'm confident that
473
00:26:16,792 --> 00:26:18,333
um...
474
00:26:18,417 --> 00:26:20,917
our donor community will respond
475
00:26:22,167 --> 00:26:26,125
to the opportunities
that we're creating for young people.
476
00:26:26,208 --> 00:26:27,250
Right?
477
00:26:27,333 --> 00:26:30,458
Coming out of the last
board meeting that we had
478
00:26:32,292 --> 00:26:35,167
and the question came from the board
479
00:26:35,250 --> 00:26:38,417
around where should our priorities be.
480
00:26:38,500 --> 00:26:41,750
And we, we, we decided
481
00:26:41,833 --> 00:26:45,125
that we couldn't,
we couldn't decide between...
482
00:26:45,208 --> 00:26:48,167
scholarship and facilities.
483
00:26:48,833 --> 00:26:52,083
Right, we couldn't decide
between investing in the place
484
00:26:52,167 --> 00:26:54,458
or investing in the people
485
00:26:54,542 --> 00:26:56,667
because we have to do both.
486
00:26:58,500 --> 00:27:01,167
Without the place,
there's no place for people to come.
487
00:27:03,667 --> 00:27:05,667
And without the people,
488
00:27:05,750 --> 00:27:09,208
the place loses its meaning
and its resonance.
489
00:27:09,750 --> 00:27:13,417
Um, as the president of Piney,
490
00:27:13,500 --> 00:27:14,875
but also as an alum,
491
00:27:16,375 --> 00:27:19,667
I had to learn how to be
resilient in this space!
492
00:27:22,875 --> 00:27:25,083
There is no giving up!
493
00:27:25,167 --> 00:27:28,167
There are no excuses!
494
00:27:30,625 --> 00:27:33,625
We will find a way or we will make one!
495
00:27:42,208 --> 00:27:44,542
Yeah, so my story's different.
496
00:27:44,625 --> 00:27:46,167
How I got here...
497
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,750
and what this meant for me.
498
00:27:54,042 --> 00:27:56,375
It's a different time.
499
00:27:57,292 --> 00:27:59,792
Different time in the world [laughs],
500
00:27:59,875 --> 00:28:02,250
a different time in my life,
501
00:28:02,333 --> 00:28:06,083
and, uh, and a different time
in the life of Piney Woods.
502
00:28:07,167 --> 00:28:08,917
You know, at that point in my life,
503
00:28:09,708 --> 00:28:12,083
I was missing people who saw me,
504
00:28:13,042 --> 00:28:14,375
who I truly am.
505
00:28:14,458 --> 00:28:16,750
You know,
that's what this place did for me
506
00:28:16,833 --> 00:28:19,042
as a young person coming here.
507
00:28:20,417 --> 00:28:23,250
And, and invested in that.
508
00:28:24,292 --> 00:28:26,667
Right, whether it was staff or student,
509
00:28:26,750 --> 00:28:28,167
we invest in each other.
510
00:28:29,208 --> 00:28:32,500
- So, I'm from Chicago.
511
00:28:32,583 --> 00:28:36,958
And even just thinking
about what my life would be
512
00:28:37,042 --> 00:28:40,708
as a teenager in Chicago,
the options were...
513
00:28:42,042 --> 00:28:45,042
bad or at best compromising,
514
00:28:46,167 --> 00:28:47,542
and it was difficult.
515
00:28:47,625 --> 00:28:48,958
I think between...
516
00:28:50,042 --> 00:28:52,750
kindergarten and seventh grade,
517
00:28:53,792 --> 00:28:56,833
probably changed school eight times.
518
00:28:56,917 --> 00:28:59,875
You know, I would go to a new school
in the middle of the year,
519
00:28:59,958 --> 00:29:02,917
and you don't know anybody,
520
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,083
but the next fall,
I'd be in another school really.
521
00:29:06,167 --> 00:29:08,500
It was terrifying.
522
00:29:08,583 --> 00:29:12,458
And I think I got in
the habit of expecting
523
00:29:12,542 --> 00:29:14,792
that I wouldn't see these people.
524
00:29:14,875 --> 00:29:20,083
I think I stopped even trying
to form bonds with people, right?
525
00:29:21,167 --> 00:29:22,875
'Cause what's the point?
526
00:29:24,542 --> 00:29:26,333
And then to come to a place
527
00:29:27,708 --> 00:29:31,083
where I would be for five years...
528
00:29:32,958 --> 00:29:35,042
I mean, the bonds just happened.
529
00:29:35,125 --> 00:29:37,833
I don't remember anybody
I went to school with really
530
00:29:37,917 --> 00:29:41,250
from kind of kindergarten
through seventh grade.
531
00:29:41,333 --> 00:29:43,667
But, these folks in this book,
532
00:29:43,750 --> 00:29:45,792
I remember all these folks.
533
00:29:50,208 --> 00:29:52,625
I remember all of them.
534
00:29:53,375 --> 00:29:55,750
Many of our young people,
535
00:29:56,708 --> 00:29:58,917
they're searching for
their place in the world.
536
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:00,458
They wanna be seen.
537
00:30:01,708 --> 00:30:04,583
And it's not 'cause Will Crossley said,
"You're empowered."
538
00:30:04,667 --> 00:30:07,167
It's because of what already lives in you.
539
00:30:08,875 --> 00:30:12,250
The mission is about being regenerative,
540
00:30:13,125 --> 00:30:15,167
in the sense of...
541
00:30:16,042 --> 00:30:20,292
putting more back into the world
than we're taking from the world.
542
00:30:21,292 --> 00:30:24,292
And so, it means that after I grow
543
00:30:24,375 --> 00:30:26,292
and harvest from the soil,
544
00:30:27,667 --> 00:30:31,958
the soil will be better
than it was when I found it.
545
00:30:32,917 --> 00:30:34,583
It's why I'm here now.
546
00:30:34,667 --> 00:30:37,083
Yeah. That's why I came back
to do this work.
547
00:30:42,583 --> 00:30:45,000
We're only going that way?
548
00:30:45,917 --> 00:30:47,417
Let's do it. Don't get stuck.
549
00:30:47,500 --> 00:30:49,125
Oh yeah, we might get stuck.
550
00:30:49,958 --> 00:30:52,083
How many four-wheelers to go down there?
551
00:30:52,167 --> 00:30:53,292
If you was in school,
552
00:30:53,375 --> 00:30:55,208
I guess I'll be riding
the four-wheelers or something.
553
00:30:55,292 --> 00:30:57,333
I've never driven a four-wheeler.
554
00:30:57,417 --> 00:30:59,875
Well, you're at the right place to do it.
555
00:30:59,958 --> 00:31:01,625
- That place right over there.
556
00:31:01,708 --> 00:31:04,500
Uh-huh. What else you know how to do?
557
00:31:04,583 --> 00:31:07,000
- Drive a tractor?
- You wanna drive a tractor?
558
00:31:07,083 --> 00:31:09,625
- Yep.
559
00:31:10,833 --> 00:31:12,708
- You serious?
- Yeah.
560
00:31:13,208 --> 00:31:16,292
He think he playing,
but he learning stuff.
561
00:31:16,375 --> 00:31:17,833
And then, I won't have to do it so much.
562
00:31:17,917 --> 00:31:21,875
He'll be out there doing it,
putting in the work.
563
00:31:22,583 --> 00:31:24,375
- Is that right?
- Uh-huh.
564
00:31:28,292 --> 00:31:32,167
- I know how to play the piano.
- Oh, what? Piano?
565
00:31:32,250 --> 00:31:34,250
That's his favorite thing to do.
That's all he do.
566
00:31:34,333 --> 00:31:36,625
Hold on now, hold on now.
Piano now? Hold on, hold on, hold on.
567
00:31:36,708 --> 00:31:38,833
- You can play piano for real?
- Yeah. I know how to play--
568
00:31:38,917 --> 00:31:41,667
Oh, talk to me about that.
Talk to me about that.
569
00:31:49,042 --> 00:31:51,458
Snowball and Peaches.
570
00:32:02,917 --> 00:32:04,542
Play some keys!
571
00:32:04,625 --> 00:32:06,792
Mm. Key.
572
00:32:09,833 --> 00:32:13,792
My dad's side of my family
grew up farming,
573
00:32:13,875 --> 00:32:17,292
raising cattle, livestock,
grew vegetables,
574
00:32:17,375 --> 00:32:20,208
everything to keep the house fed
and sold some.
575
00:32:20,292 --> 00:32:21,917
And from the time I could walk,
576
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:23,708
I always been running up
behind him, working.
577
00:32:23,792 --> 00:32:25,583
Working when I ain't realize
I was working.
578
00:32:25,667 --> 00:32:27,833
I think more of him teaching me
the different things
579
00:32:27,917 --> 00:32:29,375
that he's taught me was,
580
00:32:29,458 --> 00:32:32,458
it was more of bonding
instead of teaching.
581
00:32:32,542 --> 00:32:34,875
It was just things that
needed to be done at the time,
582
00:32:34,958 --> 00:32:38,208
so get work done and bond
at the same time.
583
00:32:39,750 --> 00:32:41,917
Do the same thing with my little boy.
584
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,292
Self-educating, if you can say.
585
00:32:45,708 --> 00:32:47,042
That make sense?
586
00:32:48,083 --> 00:32:50,917
When you lose certain knowledge
587
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,292
or knowledge is not passed on,
588
00:32:53,375 --> 00:32:55,667
you're giving others more power
589
00:32:55,750 --> 00:32:58,000
to take over and control.
590
00:32:58,083 --> 00:33:00,375
Passing on something
that I know to somebody
591
00:33:00,458 --> 00:33:03,458
that don't quite know 'cause ain't gonna
say that you don't know nothing.
592
00:33:03,542 --> 00:33:06,708
But, if I can help you learn something,
593
00:33:06,792 --> 00:33:09,583
I show you a certain way
to do something or do anything,
594
00:33:09,667 --> 00:33:11,500
I have no problem doing it.
595
00:33:13,583 --> 00:33:16,125
Here we are today.
We're at Walmart.
596
00:33:16,208 --> 00:33:18,417
Now, you're pushing it.
597
00:33:18,500 --> 00:33:20,042
I don't know how this is gonna go.
598
00:33:20,125 --> 00:33:22,500
Okay, so this is my setup.
599
00:33:22,583 --> 00:33:24,583
What is this? What are we celebrating?
600
00:33:24,667 --> 00:33:27,167
- Christmas.
- Ethiopian Christmas.
601
00:33:27,250 --> 00:33:28,583
January 7th.
602
00:33:28,667 --> 00:33:31,708
I just know we're on
our way to breakfast,
603
00:33:31,792 --> 00:33:33,500
and after breakfast, we have church.
604
00:33:42,917 --> 00:33:45,083
Hey, y'all, we in school.
605
00:33:45,167 --> 00:33:46,667
I feel like it's gonna
be a good day for real.
606
00:33:48,708 --> 00:33:51,208
- Submit.
- A day in the life of Razhell.
607
00:33:53,958 --> 00:33:55,583
Yeah, he grabbed the gross one.
608
00:33:55,667 --> 00:33:59,625
If it was 10 questions,
how many would you get?
609
00:33:59,708 --> 00:34:00,708
Nine out of ten.
610
00:34:00,792 --> 00:34:02,375
We feel overwhelmed right now
611
00:34:02,458 --> 00:34:05,292
'cause we have cheer tryouts next Tuesday.
612
00:34:05,375 --> 00:34:08,333
It's like if we hadn't have asked,
we wouldn't have known.
613
00:34:10,333 --> 00:34:12,833
We back in the morning with Maurice.
614
00:34:14,708 --> 00:34:16,250
I honestly...
615
00:34:17,125 --> 00:34:21,542
I never thought about my situation
until I got older.
616
00:34:21,625 --> 00:34:24,750
Like, I always thought about
the good things in life.
617
00:34:25,750 --> 00:34:28,833
And I wish I could go back to that point
where it was only good
618
00:34:28,917 --> 00:34:32,583
and never, um, never reality happening.
619
00:34:32,667 --> 00:34:34,750
But, as you grow up,
620
00:34:34,833 --> 00:34:38,292
that is far from the truth.
621
00:34:38,375 --> 00:34:42,333
Growing up in the delta
was not easy at all.
622
00:34:45,583 --> 00:34:50,500
It was kind of the heart of
where slavery was in Mississippi
623
00:34:50,583 --> 00:34:54,500
because, you know, like, it had rich soil
and all this other stuff.
624
00:34:54,583 --> 00:34:56,708
So, if you were,
625
00:34:56,792 --> 00:34:58,833
I guess you could say,
626
00:34:58,917 --> 00:35:01,750
poor or middle class,
lower middle class or whatever,
627
00:35:03,792 --> 00:35:06,417
you either had to be smart
or you had to know how to play a sport.
628
00:35:08,833 --> 00:35:11,708
I still prioritize education,
629
00:35:11,792 --> 00:35:15,458
but it's not like a,
it's not an escape for me anymore.
630
00:35:16,750 --> 00:35:18,875
It's a way of proving people wrong.
631
00:35:18,958 --> 00:35:21,958
It's a way of showing myself
that I can do better
632
00:35:22,042 --> 00:35:25,458
than what I was told to do
or what I was told that I could do.
633
00:35:35,792 --> 00:35:40,583
Being a part of Piney Woods
was really a big sacrifice.
634
00:35:41,375 --> 00:35:44,792
I started paying my own tuition
my eighth-grade year.
635
00:35:45,292 --> 00:35:48,708
My mom was basically like,
"I'm done helping you."
636
00:35:48,792 --> 00:35:51,417
So I was like, "Okay, I'll help myself."
637
00:35:51,500 --> 00:35:55,375
I got a job working with
Miss Dur in the cafeteria,
638
00:35:55,458 --> 00:35:59,000
and, um, it really taught me a lot.
639
00:36:00,042 --> 00:36:02,375
Where I was growing up, it was just...
640
00:36:03,458 --> 00:36:06,333
I don't know,
everybody kinda had to be the same.
641
00:36:06,417 --> 00:36:09,125
Like nobody was unique,
nobody was different.
642
00:36:09,208 --> 00:36:12,167
Nobody did something
that made them stick out
643
00:36:12,250 --> 00:36:14,667
because people were afraid to stick out.
644
00:36:14,750 --> 00:36:18,000
It's like... I don't know.
645
00:36:18,083 --> 00:36:22,333
It's like being the only Black person
in an all-white classroom.
646
00:36:22,417 --> 00:36:25,792
You're afraid of being
like the only person,
647
00:36:25,875 --> 00:36:27,875
like the first person that people see.
648
00:36:27,958 --> 00:36:30,750
But, sometimes being the first person
649
00:36:30,833 --> 00:36:33,042
that people see isn't always a bad thing.
650
00:36:35,375 --> 00:36:38,208
You be so sad when Mya's not here.
651
00:36:38,292 --> 00:36:40,792
Because Mya is my only...
652
00:36:42,583 --> 00:36:46,417
Mya is my only connection
to where, to my, to home.
653
00:36:47,292 --> 00:36:51,458
So, when she not here,
I just feel so alone sometimes.
654
00:36:51,542 --> 00:36:53,000
So, that's why I be so sad.
655
00:36:53,083 --> 00:36:55,958
♪ Down by the rivers
of the Hanky Panky ♪
656
00:36:56,042 --> 00:36:58,083

Mr. Lewis...

Terence...
664
00:37:30,333 --> 00:37:34,125
Tomorrow, we will be going
on a field trip in the Delta.
665
00:37:34,208 --> 00:37:35,458
And why are we gonna go to the Delta?
666
00:37:35,542 --> 00:37:37,000
What's the importance
of going to the Delta?
667
00:37:37,083 --> 00:37:39,208
- Part of civil rights, but what else?
- Um...
668
00:37:40,833 --> 00:37:44,667
I think Miss Nica said that we're going
to see Fannie Lou Hamer's grave.
669
00:37:45,375 --> 00:37:49,792
And what is that about social justice?
Who can tell me about Fannie Lou Hamer?
670
00:37:49,875 --> 00:37:51,583
G?
671
00:37:51,667 --> 00:37:54,875
She fought to have the right to vote.
672
00:37:56,500 --> 00:37:58,000
Excellent.
673
00:37:58,083 --> 00:38:02,042
- Woo! Woo-hoo!
674
00:38:04,917 --> 00:38:07,708
Why was voting important in the Delta?
675
00:38:08,833 --> 00:38:11,042
Mr. Lewis? Very good.
676
00:38:11,125 --> 00:38:13,667
It was important to vote in the Delta
677
00:38:13,750 --> 00:38:16,333
because not only did Black people
not have the right to vote,
678
00:38:16,417 --> 00:38:18,667
but Black women didn't have
the right to vote as well.
679
00:38:18,750 --> 00:38:22,667
And also, we really,
people really need a voice
680
00:38:22,750 --> 00:38:26,917
to put who they feel deserve
to be office to be in office,
681
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,333
so they can have somebody
to represent them.
682
00:38:30,375 --> 00:38:33,875
Excellent.
We will ride past the prison.
683
00:38:33,958 --> 00:38:37,333
Part of the reason why I want you all
to go ride past the prison
684
00:38:37,417 --> 00:38:39,750
is because we've had
students from the Delta
685
00:38:39,833 --> 00:38:42,833
that literally their backyard
was the prison.
686
00:38:42,917 --> 00:38:45,417
So, when they played,
the only thing they would see was what?
687
00:38:45,500 --> 00:38:50,000
Prison.
Black men being incarcerated,
688
00:38:50,083 --> 00:38:51,833
almost like hopeless.
689
00:38:51,917 --> 00:38:53,833
And this is what you grew up with.
690
00:38:53,917 --> 00:38:57,333
It is one of the worst prisons
in the nation as we speak.
691
00:38:59,167 --> 00:39:02,750
There's a reason for this.
And you're in African American History.
692
00:39:02,833 --> 00:39:06,792
We have the largest population
of African American males incarcerated.
693
00:39:07,625 --> 00:39:09,833
We're talking about social justice.
694
00:39:09,917 --> 00:39:14,208
I just left the Emmett Till,
the Emmett Till museum.
695
00:39:15,458 --> 00:39:17,292
It was definitely a sight to see.
696
00:39:17,375 --> 00:39:21,250
We saw where he was beat at.
We saw where the...
697
00:39:21,333 --> 00:39:23,833
We're on the way to see the bridge
698
00:39:23,917 --> 00:39:27,542
where he was thrown after he got killed.
699
00:39:27,625 --> 00:39:32,083
We saw a replica of his body
after he was killed.
700
00:39:32,167 --> 00:39:33,917
And it's just really emotional for me,
701
00:39:35,292 --> 00:39:40,000
because it's just sad to see, so...
702
00:39:43,833 --> 00:39:45,208
Yeah.
703
00:39:45,292 --> 00:39:49,083
I am preparing for school in the morning.
704
00:39:49,167 --> 00:39:53,125
I'm writing an essay on my bed.
705
00:39:54,792 --> 00:39:57,417
Um, school is getting very hard for me.
706
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:02,333
Yeah, I'm finna sit down and do my work
like a little,
707
00:40:02,417 --> 00:40:04,917
you know, a good student.
708
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:09,000
Yeah, I'm doing homework.
Wanna see this? Homework.
709
00:40:09,625 --> 00:40:13,375
Today wasn't the best day,
but it wasn't the worst.
710
00:40:13,458 --> 00:40:14,708
Um...
711
00:40:21,417 --> 00:40:23,625
It's just, it's just so much.
712
00:40:23,708 --> 00:40:27,292
And then it's overwhelming
because you have to do your work,
713
00:40:27,375 --> 00:40:28,875
you have to do your dorm work.
714
00:40:28,958 --> 00:40:30,750
You got home life on you.
715
00:40:30,833 --> 00:40:32,333
When you here, you don't wanna be lonely,
716
00:40:32,417 --> 00:40:34,292
so you wanna,
you wanna have friends.
717
00:40:34,375 --> 00:40:37,500
You have to take care of
your friend relationships.
718
00:40:37,583 --> 00:40:41,333
You might have a boyfriend, girlfriend,
you gotta take care of that relationship.
719
00:40:41,417 --> 00:40:45,000
You gotta make sure that
your reputation stay on point.
720
00:40:45,083 --> 00:40:47,083
It's just so much to juggle on the day.
721
00:40:48,792 --> 00:40:53,417

I gotta clean my energy ♪
722
00:40:53,500 --> 00:40:56,583

I don't think I'm coming back.
731
00:41:31,500 --> 00:41:35,042
When y'all leave, I'm not coming back.
I just won't be able to do it, honestly.
732
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,417
Yes, you can. You will.
733
00:41:38,500 --> 00:41:40,833
Yeah, when we leave,
you gonna have like your...
734
00:41:40,917 --> 00:41:42,708
You gonna, you know...
735
00:41:42,792 --> 00:41:45,042
You gonna have your own friends.
736
00:41:45,125 --> 00:41:48,292
Like, you gonna,
you gonna be okay, I promise.
737
00:41:48,375 --> 00:41:52,125
No, y'all don't understand.
No. That day y'all went to that trip,
738
00:41:52,208 --> 00:41:55,583
- y'all, I was literally like--
- Kira, it's gon' feel like that.
739
00:41:55,667 --> 00:41:58,292
You gotta think,
it's your first year here.
740
00:41:58,375 --> 00:42:01,042
Everybody was gone. Cesar was gone.
741
00:42:01,125 --> 00:42:03,333
All the juniors and the seniors was gone
742
00:42:04,208 --> 00:42:06,833
and I didn't have nobody.
743
00:42:06,917 --> 00:42:09,542
Well, you know,
we'll still be up here in a heartbeat.
744
00:42:09,625 --> 00:42:11,792
- I don't care where I'm at.
- I don't care.
745
00:42:11,875 --> 00:42:15,750
If you need anything,
you know I'm here in a heartbeat.
746
00:42:15,833 --> 00:42:17,792
- Literally.
- Yeah. Thank you.
747
00:42:17,875 --> 00:42:20,458
So, how do you feel about like Khareym
748
00:42:20,542 --> 00:42:22,542
having to leave and stuff soon?
749
00:42:22,625 --> 00:42:25,333
Because I know, you know, I know he--
like, how much he means to you
750
00:42:25,417 --> 00:42:27,542
and how much he supports you and stuff.
751
00:42:27,625 --> 00:42:29,750
At the beginning of
the school year, I was in denial,
752
00:42:29,833 --> 00:42:32,333
like, he not really leaving.
He gonna stay back a year for me.
753
00:42:32,417 --> 00:42:34,833
- He gonna be a post-grad.
- Yeah, he gonna be a post-grad.
754
00:42:34,917 --> 00:42:35,958
Everything gonna be okay.
755
00:42:36,042 --> 00:42:38,917
- Oh, that's so sad.
- I'm gonna be fine. Like,
756
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:41,167
I'm gonna be fine.
I'm gonna be about my business.
757
00:42:41,250 --> 00:42:44,333
I feel like it would help me, too,
because I can be more focused.
758
00:42:44,417 --> 00:42:47,208
I mean, he supports me in a lot of ways,
759
00:42:47,292 --> 00:42:50,000
but I feel like I can learn
to support myself.
760
00:42:50,083 --> 00:42:51,333
Like I can uphold myself.
761
00:42:51,417 --> 00:42:54,458
I don't need nobody to just hold me up.
762
00:42:54,542 --> 00:42:57,167
Like, I have y'all, I have God,
763
00:42:57,250 --> 00:42:58,875
I have my mother, everything.
764
00:42:58,958 --> 00:43:01,917
- My mother.
765
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:03,833
I'm gonna be fine.
766
00:43:06,792 --> 00:43:09,083
Whoa!
767
00:43:11,375 --> 00:43:13,083
This is a lot, Khareym.
768
00:43:20,958 --> 00:43:24,917
Okay. Happy Valentine's Day, Shan!
769
00:43:29,167 --> 00:43:30,833
- Name it Raima.
- Raima?
770
00:43:30,917 --> 00:43:34,000
- Yeah, Raima cute.
- To Renee from--
771
00:43:36,917 --> 00:43:38,958
This is really sweet, Khareym.
772
00:43:39,042 --> 00:43:40,792
Do you want all of your stuff now?
773
00:43:41,875 --> 00:43:43,375
Okay.
774
00:43:50,875 --> 00:43:52,625
This is really sweet, Khareym.
775
00:43:52,708 --> 00:43:54,208
Yeah, of course.
776
00:43:55,500 --> 00:43:57,542
- Aight! Aight!
- Let me get another hug.
777
00:43:58,625 --> 00:44:02,292
Happy Valentine's Day,
and I love you so much forever and ever.
778
00:44:07,792 --> 00:44:11,083
Oh, these are so cute.
Oh, my goodness.
779
00:44:12,708 --> 00:44:16,667
Oh, my gosh, these are so beautiful,
Khareym. Thank you so much.
780
00:44:17,375 --> 00:44:20,417
- Thank you so much!
- Mm-hmm.
781
00:44:20,500 --> 00:44:22,792
Hoo! I'm very nervous.
782
00:44:23,667 --> 00:44:26,083
Thank you, Khareym, so much.
This is very beautiful.
783
00:44:26,167 --> 00:44:28,958
- I love you so much, to the moon and back.
- I love you, too.
784
00:44:29,042 --> 00:44:32,042
I do. I really do need to do a backflip.
785
00:44:33,333 --> 00:44:36,875
- I'm overwhelmed. Thank you so much.

- I got braids.
- She got braids.
800
00:45:34,625 --> 00:45:37,917
- You seen it?
- Put some water in here.
801
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:40,250
I'm doing Pre-Cal right now.
802
00:45:46,167 --> 00:45:48,292
- Oh, oh yeah!
- Oh no.
803
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:51,000
- Oh, I look good.
804
00:45:51,083 --> 00:45:55,167
- What?
- I'm one of the nicest people here, right?
805
00:46:03,375 --> 00:46:05,167
- What do you want?
- I just wanna get you
806
00:46:05,250 --> 00:46:07,875
being a good teacher in the moment.
That's it. That's it.
807
00:46:07,958 --> 00:46:09,625
What work is this?
808
00:46:09,708 --> 00:46:11,875
Yes. Put one of the peels.
809
00:46:11,958 --> 00:46:13,875
So, what else do we have here?
810
00:46:13,958 --> 00:46:15,708
What are we testing for?
811
00:46:15,792 --> 00:46:18,958
- Okay. pH...
- Mm-hmm.
812
00:46:19,042 --> 00:46:22,042
- ...potassium, and nitrogen.
- Mm-hmm.
813
00:46:22,125 --> 00:46:26,000
Right, okay. So put the peel of
each because it goes by color.
814
00:46:26,083 --> 00:46:27,667
We gonna shake it.
815
00:46:29,333 --> 00:46:31,583
- So, pH--
- And when--
816
00:46:31,667 --> 00:46:35,208
When the color, when the,
after the peel is dissolved,
817
00:46:35,292 --> 00:46:38,000
you compare the color
to the color from...
818
00:46:39,417 --> 00:46:40,875
pH.
819
00:46:41,708 --> 00:46:44,333
It's funny that we are doing this,
820
00:46:44,417 --> 00:46:46,167
and you are telling me at the beginning
821
00:46:46,250 --> 00:46:49,208
that you wanna be anesthesiologist or--
822
00:46:49,292 --> 00:46:50,917
No, a brain surgeon.
823
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:53,917
And then, over the summer,
824
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:56,167
it seemed to me that you became
825
00:46:56,250 --> 00:46:58,667
- a little bit interested in public health.
- Mm-hmm.
826
00:46:58,750 --> 00:47:01,417
Before coming here,
I did not like science.
827
00:47:01,500 --> 00:47:04,167
- You did not like science? Yay!
- And then--
828
00:47:04,250 --> 00:47:06,625
And I taught you so well that you--
829
00:47:06,708 --> 00:47:09,667
As soon as I got in your class,
I was like, yep,
830
00:47:09,750 --> 00:47:11,042
I'ma be a scientist.
831
00:47:11,125 --> 00:47:14,542
I mean, people don't like
coming to chemistry class.
832
00:47:14,625 --> 00:47:18,458
People don't like that.
But, we did a lot of experiments.
833
00:47:18,542 --> 00:47:21,500
And we did a lot of lights,
a lot of noises,
834
00:47:21,583 --> 00:47:23,625
and a lot of explosion.
835
00:47:23,708 --> 00:47:25,833
So I know that's what y'all like it.
836
00:47:25,917 --> 00:47:28,167
Okay, compare it to the color on the tube.
837
00:47:28,792 --> 00:47:31,333
And the reason
I'm doing this is because...
838
00:47:32,333 --> 00:47:34,583
you know, we're doing
this [indistinct] program.
839
00:47:34,667 --> 00:47:37,625
So, I need you to check over this testing
840
00:47:37,708 --> 00:47:39,625
this year and next year.
841
00:47:40,792 --> 00:47:42,792
What? You don't wanna do this?
You don't like it?
842
00:47:42,875 --> 00:47:44,292
No. Um...
843
00:47:45,083 --> 00:47:49,250
I don't really plan on coming back
to Piney Woods next year.
844
00:47:49,333 --> 00:47:52,417
- What do you mean?
- Um...
845
00:47:52,500 --> 00:47:55,792
I'm thinking about going somewhere else.
Um...
846
00:47:56,375 --> 00:47:58,125
Where you trying to go, Maurice?
847
00:47:59,333 --> 00:48:02,042
Mississippi School for Math and Science.
848
00:48:02,125 --> 00:48:05,458
I can understand that [stammering]...
849
00:48:05,542 --> 00:48:07,875
- Wow.
- Mm-hmm.
850
00:48:07,958 --> 00:48:10,167
Well, I can say that you
told me from the beginning
851
00:48:10,250 --> 00:48:13,333
that you may go since
I met you eighth grade.
852
00:48:13,417 --> 00:48:15,708
So-- But, I still--
853
00:48:15,792 --> 00:48:19,208
I thought I gave you enough stuff,
so you can stay here.
854
00:48:19,292 --> 00:48:21,917
I thought I bribed you
enough to stay here.
855
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:25,500
- You, you really have, um...
856
00:48:26,375 --> 00:48:30,333
- It's, it's...
- Don't cry. I will cry, too.
857
00:48:33,042 --> 00:48:35,833
Yeah, it's really hard for me to, like,
858
00:48:36,625 --> 00:48:40,333
- leave everything behind, you know.
- Well...
859
00:48:40,417 --> 00:48:42,417
You're not leaving anything behind.
860
00:48:42,500 --> 00:48:45,250
Well, yeah, I'm leaving people, experiences.
861
00:48:45,333 --> 00:48:48,417
Yeah, but, you know,
you're not just going forever.
862
00:48:48,500 --> 00:48:50,917
- Have you applied yet?
- Um...
863
00:48:52,417 --> 00:48:54,333
- Not yet? Okay.
- Like...
864
00:48:54,417 --> 00:48:56,250
So-- But you, you made up your mind?
865
00:48:56,333 --> 00:48:58,000
- Yeah.
- Alright.
866
00:48:58,083 --> 00:49:00,458
So, there's still a chance,
if you don't get in.
867
00:49:00,542 --> 00:49:02,625
- No, I'm joking.
868
00:49:02,708 --> 00:49:04,792
You know what I said,
869
00:49:04,875 --> 00:49:07,917
I'm gonna write you a very good
recommendation just--
870
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:11,833
But, just remember, when you get that,
871
00:49:11,917 --> 00:49:13,750
'cause I know you'll get admitted,
872
00:49:13,833 --> 00:49:16,792
remember, if you don't like it there,
873
00:49:16,875 --> 00:49:19,292
if you didn't, don't get, you know,
874
00:49:19,375 --> 00:49:22,125
if you feel that you're not loved
like you are here,
875
00:49:22,208 --> 00:49:24,833
you're always welcome to come back.
876
00:49:24,917 --> 00:49:26,417
And the research is the same all over.
877
00:49:28,125 --> 00:49:30,375
- Are you in choir today?
- No.
878
00:49:30,458 --> 00:49:32,958
No. So, we can
come back like 7 o'clock,
879
00:49:33,042 --> 00:49:36,208
and we can go ahead
and let this settle for a little bit,
880
00:49:36,292 --> 00:49:40,042
and then you come back 7 o'clock
and read it again.
881
00:49:40,125 --> 00:49:41,625
Okay, go to class now,
882
00:49:41,708 --> 00:49:45,375
and I will see you 7 o'clock, then.
Okay.
883
00:50:04,500 --> 00:50:05,875
It's almost time to go.
884
00:50:05,958 --> 00:50:07,917
I wonder if that microphone's
gonna hit my head.
885
00:50:10,792 --> 00:50:13,958
- I don't wanna go to this thing.
- I don't wanna go to the movie.
886
00:50:14,042 --> 00:50:15,833
- I'm tired.
- I'm so sleepy.
887
00:50:15,917 --> 00:50:17,917
When are we not tired?
888
00:50:21,208 --> 00:50:24,333
I'm still tired.
I haven't slept in, like, two days.
889
00:50:24,417 --> 00:50:27,917
Two days? Two days is crazy.
890
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:29,833
Can't nobody ever put me outta my sleep.
891
00:50:29,917 --> 00:50:32,167
No. We should go to Bora Bora.
892
00:50:32,250 --> 00:50:35,917
- Bora Bora? Who gonna be paying for that?
893
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:39,500
How much we gonna have to fundraise
to go to Bora Bora?
894
00:50:39,583 --> 00:50:42,125
I want somebody to come to Colorado
with me this summer.
895
00:50:43,333 --> 00:50:45,333
You know Miss Hargrove
said she didn't pick me
896
00:50:45,417 --> 00:50:48,000
because she said she wanted
it to be "a girl's trip."
897
00:50:54,417 --> 00:50:56,208
I was like, "If you don't want me to go,
just say it."
898
00:50:56,292 --> 00:50:57,833
I'm not gonna say what I just thought--
899
00:50:57,917 --> 00:50:59,333
- but--
- I was like...
900
00:51:00,250 --> 00:51:02,458
It coulda still been
a girl trip if you came.
901
00:51:02,542 --> 00:51:04,375
Shut the hell up.
902
00:51:06,250 --> 00:51:08,667
That was the most disrespectful thing
903
00:51:08,750 --> 00:51:12,542
that has came out your mouth ever.
904
00:51:12,625 --> 00:51:15,417
- Coulda still been a girl's trip--
905
00:51:15,500 --> 00:51:18,542
- No!
- We could've still did what we did
906
00:51:18,625 --> 00:51:20,875
because it wasn't nothing
special for girls.
907
00:51:20,958 --> 00:51:24,917
Like, we was all just there. It was fun--
908
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:27,292
Get up. It's time to go to your dorms.
909
00:51:27,375 --> 00:51:29,500
You not talkin' to me.
910
00:51:29,583 --> 00:51:32,208
It's time to go to y'all dorms
says the dorm parents.
911
00:51:32,292 --> 00:51:34,042
- He not talking to me.
- Where they at though?
912
00:51:34,125 --> 00:51:36,375
He not talking to me. They for sure--
913
00:51:36,458 --> 00:51:38,958
- I don't see Big Robbie.
- They for sure somewhere.
914
00:51:41,458 --> 00:51:42,667
I'm so sorry.
915
00:51:44,875 --> 00:51:47,042
I love her, but come on.
916
00:51:47,125 --> 00:51:49,417
You don't see her because
she already done left you. Look at you.
917
00:51:49,500 --> 00:51:52,958
I been calling her. Y'all laughing
like this something new. This is old.
918
00:51:53,042 --> 00:51:56,167
- Shandrell, you coming to movie night?
- We all gotta go, it's mandatory.
919
00:51:56,250 --> 00:51:57,667
- It's mandatory?
- It's mandatory.
920
00:51:57,750 --> 00:51:59,708
Now I don't wanna go.
I was gonna go anyway.
921
00:52:01,542 --> 00:52:04,750
- Just 'cause it's mandatory?
922
00:52:04,833 --> 00:52:08,375
Look at that. Early in the morning,
ready for church.
923
00:52:15,042 --> 00:52:17,000
Man, look at the sunshine.
924
00:52:17,083 --> 00:52:18,833
Look at how it's shining bright
like a diamond.
925
00:52:18,917 --> 00:52:22,750
When you have God within you,
and you have God on your side,
926
00:52:22,833 --> 00:52:25,292
you know, there's nothing
that's impossible for you.
927
00:52:25,375 --> 00:52:27,958
Like, you know, He'll lead you
beside quiet water
928
00:52:28,042 --> 00:52:31,833
to refresh your soul,
He'll guide you along the right path.
929
00:52:32,583 --> 00:52:36,167
I just feel like the Lord,
He's just telling you
930
00:52:36,250 --> 00:52:38,375
that he got your back no matter what.
931
00:53:04,250 --> 00:53:07,333
There's, um, I feel like at Piney Woods,
932
00:53:07,417 --> 00:53:10,750
there's different levels of, um,
933
00:53:10,833 --> 00:53:13,000
certain religions
aren't being put into play.
934
00:53:13,083 --> 00:53:15,625
Like, 'cause I know not
everybody prays the same,
935
00:53:15,708 --> 00:53:17,708
not everybody worships the same.
936
00:53:17,792 --> 00:53:20,083
There's a lot of different religions here.
937
00:53:20,167 --> 00:53:24,583
If somebody doesn't praise that way,
they shouldn't be totally disregarded
938
00:53:24,667 --> 00:53:27,958
as to how they feel regarding God.
'Cause everybody has a different God,
939
00:53:28,042 --> 00:53:30,292
but at the end of the day,
it's still a God.
940
00:53:30,375 --> 00:53:32,875
- Right.
- So, I feel like the whole...
941
00:53:33,625 --> 00:53:35,208
Christianity is basically
942
00:53:35,292 --> 00:53:37,750
the only religion at Piney Woods,
it's just not okay.
943
00:53:38,792 --> 00:53:41,708
- And this is no hate. No hate, no shade.
- No hate, no shade.
944
00:53:41,792 --> 00:53:44,042
Piney Woods is conservative.
945
00:53:44,125 --> 00:53:47,250
They're really like...
I mean, as is the whole South,
946
00:53:47,333 --> 00:53:50,667
and especially Mississippi
and Franklin County.
947
00:53:50,750 --> 00:53:52,792
They expect for people
not to know who they are,
948
00:53:52,875 --> 00:53:55,667
and then they expect to kind of mold you
949
00:53:55,750 --> 00:53:58,208
into who they want you to be.
950
00:53:58,292 --> 00:54:01,417
I feel like sexuality
and different type of things,
951
00:54:01,500 --> 00:54:04,417
those aren't really, like,
necessary for church life.
952
00:54:04,500 --> 00:54:06,250
That's not the environment
where we talk about that.
953
00:54:06,333 --> 00:54:08,583
And I feel like us taking over church
954
00:54:08,667 --> 00:54:10,250
and like making it our own
955
00:54:10,333 --> 00:54:13,667
gives people a way to
connect in a different way
956
00:54:13,750 --> 00:54:15,292
than they would.
957
00:54:15,375 --> 00:54:17,000
He's not going through the same thing.
958
00:54:17,083 --> 00:54:19,208
He's not sitting in the dorm
with us every day,
959
00:54:19,292 --> 00:54:21,333
- looking at our faces.
- I don't know if he's gay.
960
00:54:21,417 --> 00:54:24,417
I don't know if he ever been gay,
but it's kind of hard.
961
00:54:24,500 --> 00:54:27,125
He ain't never sat at Piney Woods
and looked at a preacher
962
00:54:27,208 --> 00:54:29,417
that said we was an abomination.
He ain't never did that before.
963
00:54:29,500 --> 00:54:33,000
So telling me that,
"Oh, you're an abomination,"
964
00:54:33,083 --> 00:54:35,417
that makes people not wanna
look at the word of God
965
00:54:35,500 --> 00:54:38,500
because if that's God's word,
then I don't wanna be around him.
966
00:54:38,583 --> 00:54:40,375
Because if you tell me I'm an abomination,
967
00:54:40,458 --> 00:54:42,125
I'ma show you just
how much of one I am.
968
00:54:43,792 --> 00:54:46,708
It's crazy because it's never
a day that goes by that we don't all sin.
969
00:54:46,792 --> 00:54:49,250
It's like-- And no sin is
higher than the others.
970
00:54:49,333 --> 00:54:50,833
No sin is lower than the other.
971
00:54:50,917 --> 00:54:53,250
Sin doesn't have a price on it.
All sin is sin.
972
00:54:53,333 --> 00:54:56,917
So, if you go cuss,
and then you go kill somebody,
973
00:54:57,000 --> 00:54:58,292
that's the same sin.
974
00:54:58,375 --> 00:55:01,250
It's the same amount of sin
that you did. It's no better--
975
00:55:01,333 --> 00:55:03,875
I kind of feel like there
should be levels though.
976
00:55:03,958 --> 00:55:05,958
- No, it shouldn't--
- Hold on. Wait.
977
00:55:06,042 --> 00:55:09,917
Because if I cuss every day,
and you go kill somebody every day,
978
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:12,125
- we are not the same people.
- We not the same.
979
00:55:12,208 --> 00:55:16,167
We not the same, but we have
the same amount of redemption.
980
00:55:16,250 --> 00:55:20,167
Yeah, I mean, I feel like
there really should be levels
981
00:55:20,250 --> 00:55:26,083
because saying that being gay is the same
as being a murderer is crazy.
982
00:55:26,167 --> 00:55:28,750
Basically you're saying
you can't judge off of what somebody did.
983
00:55:28,833 --> 00:55:31,000
- Exactly! Exactly!
- You sin, too.
984
00:55:31,083 --> 00:55:34,708
Nobody has room to judge anybody
because we were born sinners,
985
00:55:34,792 --> 00:55:37,458
- and our whole, our whole...
- We were born in sin.
986
00:55:37,542 --> 00:55:39,292
Our whole life...
987
00:55:40,333 --> 00:55:43,792
has been revolved around sin,
whether we are conscious of it or not.
988
00:55:43,875 --> 00:55:47,458
I think being gay is a sin
because it says it in the Bible. But...
989
00:55:48,667 --> 00:55:50,708
I don't think like...
990
00:55:50,792 --> 00:55:55,708
I don't feel like it's no other sin
that people have such a problem with.
991
00:55:55,792 --> 00:55:57,625
- Because it was shamed.
- Exactly.
992
00:55:57,708 --> 00:56:00,667
Some people would rather
their child be a murderer than being gay,
993
00:56:00,750 --> 00:56:03,042
and I'm gonna just put it how it is.
994
00:56:03,125 --> 00:56:05,208
- And that is so unbelievable to me.
- That's stupid.
995
00:56:05,292 --> 00:56:08,500
That is so crazy for me
to think that you would rather
996
00:56:08,583 --> 00:56:11,833
your child kill somebody than
love who they wanna love.
997
00:56:11,917 --> 00:56:15,042
I feel like no one
998
00:56:15,125 --> 00:56:17,208
- should put a label on themselves.
- Right.
999
00:56:17,292 --> 00:56:19,792
No one should say that I'm this or that.
1000
00:56:19,875 --> 00:56:23,625
It's I like what I like,
and you have no room to judge me.
1001
00:56:23,708 --> 00:56:26,750
If you're attracted to something,
you're attracted to something,
1002
00:56:26,833 --> 00:56:28,917
and that's just the, the bottom line.
1003
00:56:36,958 --> 00:56:40,208
L-Lemme show y'all... No.
Lemme show y'all--
1004
00:56:40,292 --> 00:56:42,625
Girl, I wanna record on
your black phone for a little bit.
1005
00:56:45,083 --> 00:56:47,917
AB, the vlog's gonna
return back to you.
1006
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:49,833
Oops! Lord.
1007
00:56:54,167 --> 00:56:56,833
- Stop! [laughing] Lemme see!
1008
00:57:04,333 --> 00:57:05,708
Kira.
1009
00:57:08,833 --> 00:57:10,542
- It's time.
1010
00:57:11,875 --> 00:57:14,750
This is the quickest sew-in
I've ever done in my life.
1011
00:57:16,667 --> 00:57:18,667
But it's gonna be cute. I'll make sure.
1012
00:57:19,333 --> 00:57:20,667
You put the long in the back?
1013
00:57:20,750 --> 00:57:22,708
Yeah, we gonna probably
have to go up under it though
1014
00:57:22,792 --> 00:57:24,708
because I started too far up,
1015
00:57:24,792 --> 00:57:26,917
trying to make sure it's full.
1016
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:28,917
- And please don't do that.
- Do what?
1017
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:30,792
- Like, let me do it now.
- Okay.
1018
00:57:30,875 --> 00:57:32,917
- Excuse me.
- Alright.
1019
00:57:35,042 --> 00:57:37,000
Well, I always say that junior prom,
1020
00:57:37,083 --> 00:57:40,000
you're just supposed to go,
feel it out, be cute.
1021
00:57:40,083 --> 00:57:43,208
But senior year's when
you add the razzle-dazzle.
1022
00:57:43,292 --> 00:57:45,042
I don't know if I believe in that.
1023
00:57:45,125 --> 00:57:47,167
I do because I'd have
to be the one to pay for it.
1024
00:57:47,250 --> 00:57:49,042
We can't do razzle-dazzle both years.
1025
00:57:50,208 --> 00:57:51,958
I feel like this is
razzle-dazzle though.
1026
00:57:52,042 --> 00:57:54,458
It was a little more
than I had budgeted for now.
1027
00:57:54,542 --> 00:57:56,333
That's the truth now.
1028
00:57:56,417 --> 00:57:57,542
Yeah, I just don't know.
1029
00:57:59,125 --> 00:58:00,875
What time is your auntie
and them getting here?
1030
00:58:00,958 --> 00:58:02,458
What time is Khareym
supposed to be getting here?
1031
00:58:02,542 --> 00:58:03,625
He on the way right now.
1032
00:58:03,708 --> 00:58:05,708
I like Khareym.
1033
00:58:05,792 --> 00:58:08,458
- Me, too.
- Obviously.
1034
00:58:09,333 --> 00:58:13,292
Sav, can you bring me that, um, 16?
1035
00:58:13,375 --> 00:58:15,542
- Yes, ma'am.
- Hoo-wee.
1036
00:58:16,958 --> 00:58:19,500
Even though I might complain
about having to do hair
1037
00:58:19,583 --> 00:58:23,167
and go buy this, go pick this up,
it really makes my day.
1038
00:58:23,250 --> 00:58:26,292
Everybody knows it.
Like, I live for these moments.
1039
00:58:26,375 --> 00:58:28,750
Doing y'all hair,
making sure y'all look your best,
1040
00:58:28,833 --> 00:58:30,542
helping you pick out stuff,
1041
00:58:30,625 --> 00:58:33,167
because having y'all away
at Piney Woods
1042
00:58:33,250 --> 00:58:36,542
really is like giving me an early glimpse
1043
00:58:36,625 --> 00:58:39,333
at what it's gonna be like for y'all
to be gone off to college.
1044
00:58:39,417 --> 00:58:43,375
That's why I'm really, really rooting
for Jackson State, Tougaloo.
1045
00:58:43,458 --> 00:58:46,208
I just am so thankful that
1046
00:58:46,292 --> 00:58:50,625
I found friends like Mya
and Kira who accepted me,
1047
00:58:50,708 --> 00:58:54,500
and let me come into--
and let me come into y'all home.
1048
00:58:54,583 --> 00:58:56,250
My mom being so far away,
1049
00:58:56,333 --> 00:58:58,417
and my sisters not being here,
1050
00:58:58,500 --> 00:59:01,167
- I'm just very thankful that, you know...
- Oh, Savannah.
1051
00:59:01,250 --> 00:59:04,917
...I was able to have
you guys as my family.
1052
00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:08,083
Literally, like, me and Mya
got our makeup done together,
1053
00:59:08,167 --> 00:59:10,000
and, you know,
we're getting ready together.
1054
00:59:10,083 --> 00:59:14,708
So, it's just special to me,
not being able to be around my family,
1055
00:59:14,792 --> 00:59:16,792
but knowing that y'all my family.
1056
00:59:16,875 --> 00:59:21,125
And if I ever needed anything
or anything like that, you know.
1057
00:59:21,208 --> 00:59:22,625
You're so sweet.
1058
00:59:22,708 --> 00:59:25,708
Absolutely, Savannah.
We really do love you.
1059
00:59:25,792 --> 00:59:28,083
However many years from now,
1060
00:59:28,167 --> 00:59:30,292
y'all can still pull from these memories.
1061
00:59:30,375 --> 00:59:32,750
You just pull from your time
at Piney Woods campus,
1062
00:59:32,833 --> 00:59:34,583
and y'all be sisters forever.
1063
00:59:34,667 --> 00:59:37,333
Sisters forever. Can you give me a hug?
1064
00:59:37,417 --> 00:59:39,708
- [Ms. Adams] Oh, Kira.
- I love you, sister.
1065
00:59:39,792 --> 00:59:43,125
- I love you, Kira.
- You my ride or die.
1066
00:59:43,833 --> 00:59:45,417
Oh, Lord.
1067
00:59:45,500 --> 00:59:47,792
Ride or d-- It ain't even no or.
1068
00:59:47,875 --> 00:59:50,333
- It's just ride or die.
- It's just ride.
1069
00:59:50,417 --> 00:59:53,500
Ride. We gon' ride together.
1070
00:59:57,250 --> 00:59:58,833

I rap.
1075
01:00:14,208 --> 01:00:16,542
Alright, um,
don't bring that story up, please.
1076
01:00:16,625 --> 01:00:17,708
I rap.
1077
01:00:41,708 --> 01:00:45,583

1086
01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:36,958
So when I'm with my peers, I feel free
1087
01:02:37,042 --> 01:02:39,167
because we go through the same thing.
1088
01:02:39,250 --> 01:02:40,625
We understand each other.
1089
01:02:40,708 --> 01:02:42,542
We go through the same bathroom fires.
1090
01:02:42,625 --> 01:02:44,167
We go through the same bathroom leaks.
1091
01:02:44,250 --> 01:02:47,125
We go through the same no water.
And it's like...
1092
01:02:47,208 --> 01:02:49,500
We're all together most of the time,
1093
01:02:49,583 --> 01:02:51,125
so you can't help but to know,
1094
01:02:51,208 --> 01:02:53,375
"Oh, she was sad yesterday, she sad today.
1095
01:02:53,458 --> 01:02:56,750
I've been sad all day.
We must be sad over the same thing."
1096
01:02:56,833 --> 01:02:58,375
Yes, and it's so much built up.
1097
01:02:58,458 --> 01:03:02,167
It's so much built-up stuff
that y'all go through together.
1098
01:03:02,250 --> 01:03:04,667
And it's so mutual,
and so when you have somebody
1099
01:03:04,750 --> 01:03:06,875
you can express to like y'all,
1100
01:03:06,958 --> 01:03:10,167
you have so much to say,
and you feel so listened to,
1101
01:03:10,250 --> 01:03:13,042
because you never get to say those things.
1102
01:03:13,125 --> 01:03:15,000
- It's therapy.
- And you know that.
1103
01:03:15,083 --> 01:03:17,042
Like all of these people
around you feel the same way.
1104
01:03:18,292 --> 01:03:21,250
And you just feel like,
like, you feel a sense of community,
1105
01:03:21,333 --> 01:03:23,792
like you have,
you belong somewhere.
1106
01:03:23,875 --> 01:03:26,583
Like in this circle, I'm no longer like
1107
01:03:26,667 --> 01:03:30,042
Miss Perfect, Miss Piney Woods.
Like, I'm just Mya.
1108
01:03:30,125 --> 01:03:32,208
And y'all don't expect me
to just hold my tongue
1109
01:03:32,292 --> 01:03:34,458
or not say how I really feel
1110
01:03:34,542 --> 01:03:36,917
or keep it Q, or say, "Yes, ma'am."
1111
01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:39,167
Y'all not gonna look at me different
if I say what I wanna say.
1112
01:03:40,333 --> 01:03:43,083
I feel free everywhere. Um...
1113
01:03:45,375 --> 01:03:47,333
I've really gotten to the point
1114
01:03:47,417 --> 01:03:50,708
where people telling me what to do
is no longer an option.
1115
01:03:50,792 --> 01:03:53,083
If I feel in my heart
that it's not something
1116
01:03:53,167 --> 01:03:56,792
that is what I'm really
on page or on board with,
1117
01:03:56,875 --> 01:03:59,708
I'm just not gonna do it
'cause I have that choice.
1118
01:03:59,792 --> 01:04:02,083
And I feel like me being
the age that I am now
1119
01:04:02,167 --> 01:04:04,375
and me going through all of the things
that I've been through,
1120
01:04:04,458 --> 01:04:08,500
no one is gonna tell me
what I can't do with my time.
1121
01:04:08,583 --> 01:04:10,875
Every time that we do something,
1122
01:04:10,958 --> 01:04:13,667
every time there's a consequence,
like Mya said,
1123
01:04:13,750 --> 01:04:17,125
nobody is gonna no longer see you
as the person that you were before.
1124
01:04:17,208 --> 01:04:18,792
Or who you are. It's who you are.
1125
01:04:18,875 --> 01:04:20,750
It's you make one mistake,
1126
01:04:20,833 --> 01:04:22,792
now you're that mistake
for the rest of your life,
1127
01:04:22,875 --> 01:04:24,667
and I don't like that.
1128
01:04:24,750 --> 01:04:27,625
At this point,
let me be the mistake in peace,
1129
01:04:27,708 --> 01:04:30,292
but I no longer will be
a mistake around you.
1130
01:04:38,792 --> 01:04:41,000
- Okay!
1131
01:04:41,083 --> 01:04:43,667
My students, go to art!
1132
01:04:43,750 --> 01:04:47,708
I want my class on one end,
and the art class on another.
1133
01:05:02,667 --> 01:05:06,583
Okay! Alright, class! Sit down!
1134
01:05:09,625 --> 01:05:12,167
Gloria, how's it going today?
1135
01:05:16,708 --> 01:05:19,375
It should be the very first page.
1136
01:05:19,458 --> 01:05:22,792
So, why do you think,
in this particular case right here,
1137
01:05:22,875 --> 01:05:24,917
the radius is being squared?
1138
01:05:28,292 --> 01:05:29,833
Y'all don't even need my help.
1139
01:05:29,917 --> 01:05:31,833
Let me get out the way.
1140
01:05:39,208 --> 01:05:41,208
Oh, I know it's a good question.
That's why I asked.
1141
01:05:41,292 --> 01:05:44,292
I ask good questions.
I always want good answers.
1142
01:05:44,375 --> 01:05:46,792
- Now what?
- You know, I'm kind of looking at it,
1143
01:05:46,875 --> 01:05:49,667
and I don't think it's gonna fit.
1144
01:05:58,917 --> 01:06:01,167
Do I have to put the bottom
in parentheses? Should I put--
1145
01:06:01,250 --> 01:06:03,417
- Yeah, you start off just like--
- Should I put two parentheses?
1146
01:06:03,500 --> 01:06:06,958
Because I put it on there,
but it took it off when I pressed "Enter."
1147
01:06:07,042 --> 01:06:09,708
Okay, you shouldn't have had
a parenthesis here.
1148
01:06:09,792 --> 01:06:11,083
I didn't.
1149
01:06:11,958 --> 01:06:15,292
It's multiply this,
and it should have been 5.10e,
1150
01:06:15,375 --> 01:06:17,625
and it should been 10 to the 24th.
1151
01:06:20,083 --> 01:06:22,792
Does the exponent
go after the parentheses?
1152
01:06:24,208 --> 01:06:27,250
I don't know.
Do you think we should move those?
1153
01:06:27,333 --> 01:06:30,000
- These?
- Yeah, we can't move them now.
1154
01:06:30,083 --> 01:06:31,583
It's better than last week.
1155
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:37,708
I don't know. To be decided.
1156
01:06:54,833 --> 01:06:56,250
Come on.
1157
01:06:56,333 --> 01:06:59,250
- What you did?
- Come on. It's okay.
1158
01:07:01,417 --> 01:07:03,000
- I know you--
- Well, what did you do?
1159
01:07:03,083 --> 01:07:05,750
Please just hug me.
I miss you so much.
1160
01:07:06,667 --> 01:07:08,917
[sighs] Okay, so
tell me what happened. Why we hugging?
1161
01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:12,000
- Tell me what happened.
- Because Mr. Jerry took my phone.
1162
01:07:12,083 --> 01:07:15,375
I was taking a PFA, and I pulled it up.
1163
01:07:15,458 --> 01:07:18,333
Mm, so you broke a rule.
1164
01:07:18,417 --> 01:07:21,875
- You about to fail-- So, you broke a rule.
- I don't wanna hear that from you.
1165
01:07:21,958 --> 01:07:24,167

- Troublemaker.

Okay, well...
1172
01:07:42,583 --> 01:07:45,250
- You're gonna make me cry.
- Don't cry.
1173
01:07:45,333 --> 01:07:47,542
- If you cry, I'll cry.
1174
01:07:55,250 --> 01:07:56,500

That was good. That was good.
1245
01:13:14,667 --> 01:13:15,667
Um,
1246
01:13:15,750 --> 01:13:18,500
a few ground rules
before we get started.
1247
01:13:18,583 --> 01:13:21,333
This is an opportunity
for your voice to be heard.
1248
01:13:21,417 --> 01:13:25,750
It is not the opportunity
for you to call anybody out.
1249
01:13:28,042 --> 01:13:31,125
You know, we just changed our mission,
and in our mission,
1250
01:13:31,208 --> 01:13:33,083
we say that we're going to
1251
01:13:33,167 --> 01:13:36,500
develop a child through
a holistic approach, right?
1252
01:13:36,583 --> 01:13:38,292
That develops what's on that back wall.
1253
01:13:38,375 --> 01:13:40,667
- Head, heart, and hands.
1254
01:13:40,750 --> 01:13:43,375
How are we doing with that?
1255
01:13:44,292 --> 01:13:47,833
How well or not well?
Why you laughing, Mr. Spann?
1256
01:13:49,417 --> 01:13:51,417
How well or not well...
1257
01:13:52,333 --> 01:13:54,333
do we do grace?
1258
01:13:55,125 --> 01:13:58,583
How well or not well do we do
forgiveness at Piney Woods?
1259
01:14:00,375 --> 01:14:04,500
Well, I feel like some, some, some
of our actions could be better.
1260
01:14:04,583 --> 01:14:07,458
Like, for instance,
we talk about freedom
1261
01:14:07,542 --> 01:14:09,333
and responsibility a lot.
1262
01:14:09,417 --> 01:14:13,042
And, you know, um, that--
I don't feel
1263
01:14:13,125 --> 01:14:16,750
like there's much like
freedom in our atmosphere.
1264
01:14:16,833 --> 01:14:20,333
Like for instance,
um, you can get written up
1265
01:14:20,417 --> 01:14:23,125
for going to the bathroom during class.
1266
01:14:23,208 --> 01:14:26,042
I don't feel that that's
any type of necessary.
1267
01:14:27,875 --> 01:14:30,917
We can, we can get our,
our phones taken away
1268
01:14:31,000 --> 01:14:33,667
for having them in the cafeteria
on the weekends.
1269
01:14:33,750 --> 01:14:35,708
It happened five times this weekend.
1270
01:14:35,792 --> 01:14:38,875
Um, I, I don't feel like
that's necessary either.
1271
01:14:38,958 --> 01:14:40,667
- Um...
1272
01:14:40,750 --> 01:14:44,000
Our dress code is very strict,
1273
01:14:44,083 --> 01:14:47,958
and I know in one of the pages
in this book, it says,
1274
01:14:48,042 --> 01:14:52,625
um, "No student feels like they're
above another because of it,"
1275
01:14:52,708 --> 01:14:55,875
but I also feel like it
stifles our individuality.
1276
01:14:55,958 --> 01:14:58,792
And, you know, we don't get
to fully express ourselves
1277
01:14:58,875 --> 01:15:00,667
- within some of these rules.
1278
01:15:00,750 --> 01:15:04,625
So, I feel like that could
be built upon.
1279
01:15:05,958 --> 01:15:07,875
But, yeah.
1280
01:15:11,250 --> 01:15:14,542
Does anybody know my rule about rules?
1281
01:15:14,625 --> 01:15:17,000
- No.
- If you can, in writing,
1282
01:15:19,333 --> 01:15:22,042
show us why a rule is unnecessary...
1283
01:15:25,792 --> 01:15:29,167
if you can do that,
we'll consider changing the rules.
1284
01:15:32,417 --> 01:15:34,583
We've done it on multiple occasions.
1285
01:15:36,167 --> 01:15:39,167
- Look at the boy's hair.
- Right?
1286
01:15:39,250 --> 01:15:41,458
We've done it on multiple occasions.
1287
01:15:41,542 --> 01:15:45,792
Because this is not about
me and us and our authority.
1288
01:15:47,583 --> 01:15:49,750
You have work to do to change the rules,
1289
01:15:49,833 --> 01:15:53,000
but you have power to change the rules.
1290
01:15:54,083 --> 01:15:55,417
That's in your hands.
1291
01:15:58,833 --> 01:16:02,792
Every time we have this town hall,
which-- not every time
1292
01:16:02,875 --> 01:16:05,583
'cause it's only been twice,
this is the second.
1293
01:16:06,333 --> 01:16:09,000
Every single time that someone
1294
01:16:09,083 --> 01:16:11,958
is speaking about what they feel like
1295
01:16:12,042 --> 01:16:15,333
or how they feel we could
change the atmosphere,
1296
01:16:15,417 --> 01:16:16,417
people don't wanna hear it.
1297
01:16:16,500 --> 01:16:20,625
Grace has been extended to every
single person in this room.
1298
01:16:20,708 --> 01:16:22,708
- Not just a student.
1299
01:16:22,792 --> 01:16:26,750
Faculty, staff,
even people that just got here this year.
1300
01:16:26,833 --> 01:16:28,583
Grace has been extended.
1301
01:16:28,667 --> 01:16:30,458
And I feel like when we're in this space,
1302
01:16:30,542 --> 01:16:34,542
we have to set aside our
differences or whatever,
1303
01:16:34,625 --> 01:16:38,000
and come to a way-- or a common agreement
1304
01:16:38,083 --> 01:16:40,083
as to how this space could be fixed
1305
01:16:40,167 --> 01:16:43,000
to better every single
person in this room.
1306
01:16:44,292 --> 01:16:46,417
First of all, this is a big step, okay?
1307
01:16:46,500 --> 01:16:48,500
A town hall meeting is a big step.
1308
01:16:48,583 --> 01:16:51,333
This is the first year, if I'm correct,
1309
01:16:51,417 --> 01:16:54,500
it's the first year that
we have had town hall meetings.
1310
01:16:54,583 --> 01:16:58,542
And I feel like we've came
to a point where our ideas
1311
01:16:58,625 --> 01:17:01,958
and our thoughts are actually
being listened to now.
1312
01:17:02,042 --> 01:17:05,917
So, I commend everybody in this room
for being here right now
1313
01:17:06,000 --> 01:17:07,958
to listen to everything that I have to say
1314
01:17:08,042 --> 01:17:09,875
and everybody else has to say.
1315
01:17:09,958 --> 01:17:13,042
And... yeah, stay blessed.
1316
01:17:21,083 --> 01:17:23,042
What is the thing that we discussed
1317
01:17:23,125 --> 01:17:24,667
at the beginning of the school year?
1318
01:17:24,750 --> 01:17:26,833
We said that you need to work on?
1319
01:17:26,917 --> 01:17:28,042
- Patience.
- Patience.
1320
01:17:28,125 --> 01:17:30,083
How do you think you're doing with that?
1321
01:17:30,167 --> 01:17:31,833
I don't know. I don't know.
1322
01:17:32,667 --> 01:17:36,083
I think I'm still dealing,
like, struggling with it.
1323
01:17:36,167 --> 01:17:38,958
But, you are more aware
that what you need to do.
1324
01:17:39,042 --> 01:17:41,583
- Yeah, yeah.
- That's what I feel, that you're more--
1325
01:17:41,667 --> 01:17:44,083
- You think I'm more aware?
- I think you're more aware,
1326
01:17:44,167 --> 01:17:46,500
and you catch yourself
if you're not patient.
1327
01:17:46,583 --> 01:17:48,417
You just say, "Okay, I need to calm down.
1328
01:17:48,500 --> 01:17:50,375
I need to be patient."
1329
01:17:50,458 --> 01:17:54,125
I think the main thing that
you allowed yourself to grow
1330
01:17:55,458 --> 01:17:58,625
and you allowed yourself to be vulnerable.
1331
01:17:58,708 --> 01:18:02,083
At the beginning,
you did not like people to know
1332
01:18:02,167 --> 01:18:04,292
- that you might not know the answer.
- Mm-hmm.
1333
01:18:04,375 --> 01:18:05,708
- It's right?
- Mm-hmm.
1334
01:18:05,792 --> 01:18:07,417
But now, you don't mind say,
1335
01:18:07,500 --> 01:18:09,625
"Okay, hold on, hold on. I don't get it.
1336
01:18:09,708 --> 01:18:11,875
I don't understand why is that this way."
1337
01:18:13,583 --> 01:18:15,750
And that's a growth.
1338
01:18:15,833 --> 01:18:18,208
That's the growth
I really appreciate from you
1339
01:18:18,292 --> 01:18:20,917
and that I observed in you.
Do you agree with me on...
1340
01:18:21,000 --> 01:18:22,542
I agree with you 'cause I see it.
1341
01:18:22,625 --> 01:18:25,583
'Cause like now, this factoring stuff
we are going through [laughs],
1342
01:18:25,667 --> 01:18:29,125
- I be like, "What's the answer?"
- Yeah, but that's growth.
1343
01:18:29,208 --> 01:18:31,625
But, we do still have some issues.
1344
01:18:31,708 --> 01:18:33,833
What are the issues we have?
1345
01:18:33,917 --> 01:18:36,417
- What other issues do we have?
- I don't know. Just think about it.
1346
01:18:36,500 --> 01:18:39,250
- Talking? Mm...
- Mm...
1347
01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:42,625
- Talking.
- Talking?
1348
01:18:42,708 --> 01:18:45,000
Talking way...
Not way too much,
1349
01:18:45,083 --> 01:18:47,458
but sometimes,
that is not really necessary.
1350
01:18:47,542 --> 01:18:50,250
- Mm-hmm.
- But, you're growing.
1351
01:18:50,917 --> 01:18:54,583
Hopefully, we get to grow together
all the way to 12th grade.
1352
01:18:54,667 --> 01:18:57,292
Please, I hope so because I don't think
I can do next year without you.
1353
01:18:57,375 --> 01:19:01,000
I promise you, I do not...
Like, you don't understand.
1354
01:19:01,083 --> 01:19:04,625
- What's your plan?
- For next year at school?
1355
01:19:04,708 --> 01:19:07,000
Next year, I'ma just take more time
1356
01:19:07,083 --> 01:19:10,958
to understand things, and just note--
1357
01:19:11,042 --> 01:19:13,750
Like, I'm not gonna try to just
be a part of everything.
1358
01:19:13,833 --> 01:19:16,750
Good. Because that
was one of the issues.
1359
01:19:16,833 --> 01:19:19,208
- Yeah.
- That you try and...
1360
01:19:19,292 --> 01:19:23,167
The reason I did
not say what you cannot be
1361
01:19:23,250 --> 01:19:26,208
because you had to find out for yourself
1362
01:19:26,292 --> 01:19:28,708
which one are you really interested in,
1363
01:19:28,792 --> 01:19:31,208
which one you really
your heart is gonna go.
1364
01:19:31,792 --> 01:19:33,958
So, just you need to figure out
1365
01:19:34,042 --> 01:19:36,750
- which one you doing and do it.
- Mm-hmm.
1366
01:19:36,833 --> 01:19:40,458
We tested water today.
We have Gloria in the front seat.
1367
01:19:40,542 --> 01:19:42,542
We are with Dr. Nica!
1368
01:19:42,625 --> 01:19:45,750
- Infamous!
1369
01:20:05,417 --> 01:20:07,500
We're about to go sing.
1370
01:20:08,083 --> 01:20:09,708
Hey, guys. So we are in...
1371
01:20:11,708 --> 01:20:14,417
What class is this? What class is this?
1372
01:20:14,500 --> 01:20:17,917
Oh, sorry. It's English lit. English lit.
1373
01:20:33,125 --> 01:20:36,375
I'm on the way to
a college fair right now, and this is--
1374
01:20:36,458 --> 01:20:40,083
We have a lot of colleges
that's gonna be looking,
1375
01:20:40,167 --> 01:20:43,042
and I have like questions
that I'm gonna ask them and stuff.
1376
01:20:43,125 --> 01:20:47,083
So, I'm excited. I'm nervous.
1377
01:20:48,292 --> 01:20:51,292
- Welcome!
1378
01:20:53,542 --> 01:20:55,875
- Fire it up!
- Ready to go!
1379
01:20:55,958 --> 01:20:58,125
- Fire it up! Right.
- Ready to go!
1380
01:20:58,208 --> 01:21:01,417
Welcome, everyone. We are very excited,
1381
01:21:01,500 --> 01:21:04,667
as we have our annual award ceremony.
1382
01:21:04,750 --> 01:21:07,958
The recognition of the hard work
our students have put in,
1383
01:21:08,042 --> 01:21:10,625
our teachers, and our whole team support.
1384
01:21:10,708 --> 01:21:13,250
The highest average in Comp Health,
1385
01:21:13,333 --> 01:21:16,958
- the award goes to Takira Adams.
1386
01:21:17,042 --> 01:21:19,000
Hold your applause until we're going.
1387
01:21:21,417 --> 01:21:26,375
The highest G-- The highest average
in Biology goes to...
1388
01:21:26,458 --> 01:21:29,250
- Takira Adams.
1389
01:21:32,167 --> 01:21:35,542
For the lead soprano, Miss Taimya Adams.
1390
01:21:38,250 --> 01:21:40,167
Hold your applause
till everyone comes up.
1391
01:21:40,250 --> 01:21:42,500
I took a group of students
1392
01:21:42,583 --> 01:21:46,542
to the Mississippi Magnolia Mock trial,
1393
01:21:46,625 --> 01:21:48,750
and they did an outstanding job.
1394
01:21:48,833 --> 01:21:50,250
They placed first place,
1395
01:21:50,333 --> 01:21:53,500
and they had to go through three rounds.
1396
01:21:53,583 --> 01:21:56,167
And Khareym, please stand.
1397
01:21:56,250 --> 01:21:59,708
Khareym got the top scholarship.
1398
01:22:07,375 --> 01:22:10,000
And there's another person
that I want to recognize.
1399
01:22:10,083 --> 01:22:13,542
And unfortunately, we will be
losing him for the next year.
1400
01:22:13,625 --> 01:22:17,500
He has been accepted to
the Math and Science Academy.
1401
01:22:17,583 --> 01:22:20,708
Mr. Maurice Hunter for
the Most Helpful Student.
1402
01:22:20,792 --> 01:22:22,792
Hold your applause.
1403
01:22:25,625 --> 01:22:26,875
Okay.
1404
01:22:30,375 --> 01:22:31,833
Look at us.
1405
01:22:36,500 --> 01:22:39,375
Well, how have we been
doing with the fundraiser?
1406
01:22:41,333 --> 01:22:45,167
Uh, better, but not good enough.
1407
01:22:45,250 --> 01:22:48,917
We really need to
double our fundraising.
1408
01:22:51,625 --> 01:22:54,542
And start thinking about
a capital campaign.
1409
01:22:54,625 --> 01:22:56,125
Yeah.
1410
01:22:57,625 --> 01:23:00,583
The big thing we gotta improve
1411
01:23:00,667 --> 01:23:02,667
is some of our housing
1412
01:23:02,750 --> 01:23:05,500
with some upgrades in student housing,
1413
01:23:05,583 --> 01:23:07,583
campus housing.
1414
01:23:07,667 --> 01:23:10,458
- We'll be able to get more people here.
1415
01:23:10,542 --> 01:23:15,500
You know, I'd like to open up
some of these structures that we closed.
1416
01:23:16,875 --> 01:23:19,375
But I'm not gonna open them
until we can...
1417
01:23:20,500 --> 01:23:25,375
you know, until we can have 'em fit
to properly honor the kids.
1418
01:23:27,708 --> 01:23:30,292
You know,
I do the work 'cause I feel like...
1419
01:23:31,125 --> 01:23:33,667
it's what I'm supposed to do.
1420
01:23:33,750 --> 01:23:35,333
How long it takes? I don't know.
1421
01:23:36,417 --> 01:23:40,250
- But, just my spirit says
1422
01:23:40,333 --> 01:23:44,000
success is around the corner,
change is around the corner.
1423
01:23:46,375 --> 01:23:49,542
And so however long it
takes us to turn the corner,
1424
01:23:49,625 --> 01:23:53,542
my hope is to, you know,
1425
01:23:53,625 --> 01:23:56,792
put this in a position
where we can just expand it and grow it
1426
01:23:59,583 --> 01:24:04,000
to something deeper,
1427
01:24:04,083 --> 01:24:06,083
more far-reaching
1428
01:24:07,708 --> 01:24:09,208
than what we see today.
1429
01:24:11,333 --> 01:24:13,708
You know, it's just like
treading water, right?
1430
01:24:13,792 --> 01:24:17,833
You can stay afloat,
1431
01:24:17,917 --> 01:24:20,792
but you're not really
going out into the deep.
1432
01:24:20,875 --> 01:24:25,542
We've just been kind of
treading water for 19 years.
1433
01:24:28,958 --> 01:24:31,833
How long do you think
we can continue just floating?
1434
01:24:33,667 --> 01:24:36,167
This, you know,
the legacy of the school.
1435
01:24:37,083 --> 01:24:40,875
What would be the impact
if we just, unfortunately,
1436
01:24:40,958 --> 01:24:43,792
it turned and we had to close?
1437
01:24:43,875 --> 01:24:45,875
This whole place is like life.
1438
01:24:48,500 --> 01:24:50,000
You know, the whole place...
1439
01:24:52,375 --> 01:24:55,333
The space brings life, gives life,
1440
01:24:55,417 --> 01:24:58,333
cultivates life, and living.
1441
01:25:05,375 --> 01:25:06,875
You know?
1442
01:25:06,958 --> 01:25:10,875
We're the epitome of resilience and hope
1443
01:25:10,958 --> 01:25:13,208
and all that good stuff, and...
1444
01:25:15,500 --> 01:25:17,208
you can't take that away.
1445
01:25:19,375 --> 01:25:22,292
That's-- that's just not an option.
1446
01:25:26,625 --> 01:25:29,583
- ♪ Lean on me ♪
- There you go...
1447
01:25:29,667 --> 01:25:32,500
- ♪ I'll be your friend ♪
1448
01:25:32,583 --> 01:25:36,583
♪ I'll help you carry on ♪
1449
01:25:37,833 --> 01:25:40,458
♪ For it won't be long ♪
1450
01:25:40,542 --> 01:25:44,333
Hopefully everybody starts studying.
Looking fit, looking all pretty.
1451
01:25:44,417 --> 01:25:47,667
An essay for homework? That's crazy.
1452
01:25:47,750 --> 01:25:50,208
Wait. 7:56.
1453
01:25:50,292 --> 01:25:52,958
- Hold her like this.
- Hold her like that, AB.
1454
01:25:53,042 --> 01:25:54,875
- I-I can't kiss it.
1455
01:25:54,958 --> 01:25:57,000
I'm not gonna lie.
I'm not doing my work.
1456
01:25:57,083 --> 01:25:59,417
- Hey. [laughs] Hey.
- Hey.
1457
01:26:00,917 --> 01:26:02,417
...doing.
1458
01:26:04,417 --> 01:26:07,208
- Slack, you know what I'm saying?
1459
01:26:07,292 --> 01:26:10,042
Why'd y'all come back? It's not open?
1460
01:26:15,250 --> 01:26:18,625
Speech with the power is happening.
1461
01:26:18,708 --> 01:26:20,333
I'm nervous. I gotta sing, guys.
1462
01:26:24,000 --> 01:26:26,292
Two more days,
1463
01:26:26,375 --> 01:26:28,458
and I'm gonna be out this joint.
1464
01:26:57,333 --> 01:27:00,417
- Come here. Take a bite.
1465
01:27:03,125 --> 01:27:06,042
That's good, bro.
I'm gonna eat the whole thing.
1466
01:27:08,708 --> 01:27:11,958
So, what, graduation is your last day?
1467
01:27:12,042 --> 01:27:14,208
- Hm?
- Graduation is your last day?
1468
01:27:14,292 --> 01:27:17,708
100%. Yeah.
You know, you may not realize it,
1469
01:27:17,792 --> 01:27:20,833
but a lot of the reason
why I've like matured
1470
01:27:20,917 --> 01:27:22,875
and then become more open
with myself and stuff,
1471
01:27:22,958 --> 01:27:25,292
it's 'cause you really taught me
always be consistent,
1472
01:27:25,375 --> 01:27:27,167
have hard work, just do it.
1473
01:27:27,250 --> 01:27:29,625
Just 'cause, you know what I'm saying,
it might sound crazy,
1474
01:27:29,708 --> 01:27:31,375
but go ahead and get it done.
1475
01:27:31,458 --> 01:27:32,500
Dr. Crossley said one morning
1476
01:27:32,583 --> 01:27:35,375
that he's not gonna let
no one else outwork him.
1477
01:27:35,458 --> 01:27:39,125
But you really taught me how to persevere
and go through that kind of stuff, so.
1478
01:27:39,208 --> 01:27:42,375
Yeah. I should bother you
once or twice a week,
1479
01:27:43,417 --> 01:27:46,083
make sure you're doing what
you're supposed to be doing.
1480
01:27:46,167 --> 01:27:48,542
Hey. Just making sure,
1481
01:27:48,625 --> 01:27:50,333
- you know what I'm saying?
1482
01:27:50,417 --> 01:27:52,500
- And where we taking this to?
- To the cafeteria.
1483
01:27:52,583 --> 01:27:55,667
Oh, okay. This is for y'all to eat.
1484
01:28:27,917 --> 01:28:29,875
Just set them right there
on the deep freezer.
1485
01:28:29,958 --> 01:28:32,958
- Alright. Alright.
- They'll take care of the rest.
1486
01:28:53,292 --> 01:28:55,833
- How's it taste?
- Yummy.
1487
01:28:55,917 --> 01:28:58,500
- Pretty good, isn't it?
- Yeah, I mean...
1488
01:28:58,583 --> 01:29:01,083
This is yummy.
1489
01:29:06,917 --> 01:29:08,167
Eating this.
1490
01:29:09,458 --> 01:29:11,083
Spicy noodles.
1491
01:29:18,083 --> 01:29:19,750
Oh, this part not straight.
1492
01:29:21,708 --> 01:29:24,208
Deep. Yeah, stay with that one.
1493
01:29:43,458 --> 01:29:45,542
- Keith.
1494
01:29:45,625 --> 01:29:48,917
- Sup, bro? Bro!
- Start packing, bro.
1495
01:29:49,000 --> 01:29:50,375
Just start packing, bro.
1496
01:29:50,458 --> 01:29:52,958
It's sad 'cause to think
1497
01:29:53,042 --> 01:29:54,625
that I've been at Piney Woods so long,
1498
01:29:54,708 --> 01:29:57,625
- and now, it's finally, like...
- Yeah.
1499
01:29:59,375 --> 01:30:00,750
- ...coming to an end.
- Right.
1500
01:30:00,833 --> 01:30:02,750
To think I've been at Piney Woods
1501
01:30:02,833 --> 01:30:04,750
for the longest nine months of my life.
1502
01:30:04,833 --> 01:30:06,458
- Oh wow.
- And you're coming back.
1503
01:30:06,542 --> 01:30:08,167
And it's not coming to an end.
1504
01:30:08,250 --> 01:30:10,083
- How it feel, bro?
- I'm gonna be here
1505
01:30:10,167 --> 01:30:11,708
for as long as Maurice has been here.
1506
01:30:11,792 --> 01:30:13,375
- If I graduate Piney Woods,
1507
01:30:13,458 --> 01:30:15,500
I'm gonna be here for three years,
just like Maurice.
1508
01:30:15,583 --> 01:30:16,750
Okay, so you didn't have to say that.
1509
01:30:16,833 --> 01:30:18,792
Maurice know
he coming back in senior year.
1510
01:30:18,875 --> 01:30:21,500
He know he gonna go there, and he's
gonna be like, "Oh, it's boring here."
1511
01:30:21,583 --> 01:30:23,667
Maurice,
you gotta come back for graduation.
1512
01:30:23,750 --> 01:30:25,333
'Cause guess what?
I'm not coming back, dude--
1513
01:30:27,458 --> 01:30:29,375
You don't have to, but look.
It'd be better
1514
01:30:29,458 --> 01:30:31,792
'cause guess what?
During like their graduation,
1515
01:30:31,875 --> 01:30:33,250
I'll be there, bro.
1516
01:30:33,333 --> 01:30:36,917
Nah, I'm just gonna be working, bro.
I'ma take the ACT a couple more times,
1517
01:30:37,000 --> 01:30:38,750
so I can get a little higher score.
1518
01:30:38,833 --> 01:30:41,167
I'ma familiarize myself for APA,
1519
01:30:41,250 --> 01:30:44,167
'cause my major is a science major,
1520
01:30:44,250 --> 01:30:48,208
so most of my essays are
gonna be in APA-style, so.
1521
01:30:49,792 --> 01:30:51,708
And overall, I just like helping people,
1522
01:30:52,792 --> 01:30:55,958
like as much as I can,
just like touch as many people as I can.
1523
01:30:56,042 --> 01:30:59,458
So, I decided why not?
The medical field, you never--
1524
01:30:59,542 --> 01:31:01,750
you always gonna need people
in the medical field.
1525
01:31:01,833 --> 01:31:06,167
Like, it's vast.
You could do so much with it.
1526
01:31:06,250 --> 01:31:08,042
- Like a lot of things.
- It's a lot of things.
1527
01:31:08,125 --> 01:31:10,250
So many avenues you can go down
with the medical field.
1528
01:31:10,333 --> 01:31:12,875
So, like, I'ma do nursing.
1529
01:31:12,958 --> 01:31:16,250
But, after nursing school,
like when I graduate,
1530
01:31:16,333 --> 01:31:19,958
I'm gonna apply for the University
of Georgia's law school.
1531
01:31:20,042 --> 01:31:22,833
Then, I'ma go to law school to get my JD.
1532
01:31:22,917 --> 01:31:26,875
I feel like my time
at Piney Woods has come to an end,
1533
01:31:26,958 --> 01:31:30,917
but it's not on a--
it's not on a bad note.
1534
01:31:31,000 --> 01:31:33,875
Like, I can leave knowing
that I can come back.
1535
01:31:33,958 --> 01:31:37,625
It's not like I left because I got put out
or I left because of this.
1536
01:31:37,708 --> 01:31:40,375
It was because I wanted more for myself,
1537
01:31:40,458 --> 01:31:43,750
and I wanted to, what Dr. Crossley said,
strive for excellence.
1538
01:31:43,833 --> 01:31:46,042
And, I mean,
1539
01:31:46,125 --> 01:31:49,625
now, I'm going to a number one
school in Mississippi.
1540
01:31:49,708 --> 01:31:51,125
Never thought I'd do that.
1541
01:31:51,208 --> 01:31:54,292
- So, what you think it's gonna be like?
- Um...
1542
01:31:56,792 --> 01:31:59,458
It's just gonna be different. Like...
1543
01:31:59,542 --> 01:32:01,750
It's different,
but I'm glad that it's different
1544
01:32:01,833 --> 01:32:04,875
'cause it gives me
the opportunity to really...
1545
01:32:04,958 --> 01:32:07,625
- figure out like what I wanna do. Like...
- Figure out.
1546
01:32:10,208 --> 01:32:11,833
Figure out just what I wanna do.
1547
01:32:11,917 --> 01:32:14,125
Why you can't figure it out here?
1548
01:32:14,208 --> 01:32:16,667
I can't figure it out at Piney Woods,
1549
01:32:16,750 --> 01:32:19,958
and it's mainly because of the resources.
1550
01:32:20,042 --> 01:32:23,167
Like-- [sighs] Piney Woods
doesn't have a lot of resources.
1551
01:32:23,250 --> 01:32:27,000
And I will say this over and over again,
it's not their fault.
1552
01:32:27,083 --> 01:32:30,250
But, at the same time,
if the opportunity is presented for me
1553
01:32:30,333 --> 01:32:33,167
to go somewhere else where
I know it could benefit me more,
1554
01:32:33,250 --> 01:32:36,625
why would I stay in a place
where I'm just comfortable being in
1555
01:32:36,708 --> 01:32:38,792
but it doesn't give me anything out of it?
1556
01:32:38,875 --> 01:32:41,333
I've had a lot of opportunities
being at Piney Woods.
1557
01:32:41,417 --> 01:32:44,625
I have been to places I ain't
never really been before.
1558
01:32:44,708 --> 01:32:46,208
But like...
1559
01:32:47,292 --> 01:32:50,625
everything is not just--
everything's not here.
1560
01:32:50,708 --> 01:32:52,833
And like...
1561
01:32:52,917 --> 01:32:55,417
'Cause people don't give back
to Black communities,
1562
01:32:55,500 --> 01:32:57,542
especially Black schools.
1563
01:32:57,625 --> 01:33:00,542
Like, if Piney Woods weren't all Black,
1564
01:33:00,625 --> 01:33:02,458
this campus would be operating better.
1565
01:33:02,542 --> 01:33:03,792
And it's kinda sad to hear.
1566
01:33:03,875 --> 01:33:07,708
It's kinda sad to know
really just how people
1567
01:33:07,792 --> 01:33:11,417
really don't really care for
African Americans like that.
1568
01:33:11,500 --> 01:33:13,833
Like, I don't really remember
my past years. It be like,
1569
01:33:13,917 --> 01:33:16,917
when I start talking about it,
it kinda just like rush in.
1570
01:33:17,000 --> 01:33:19,125
Like, I came a long, long, long way.
1571
01:33:20,208 --> 01:33:22,750
And so as far as leaving stuff behind,
1572
01:33:24,208 --> 01:33:26,417
I'm probably gonna miss definitely like
1573
01:33:26,500 --> 01:33:28,083
the teachers that poured into me.
1574
01:33:28,625 --> 01:33:31,292
I plan on being friends with y'all,
you know, for the rest of my life,
1575
01:33:31,375 --> 01:33:34,208
- so I don't think nothing will break that.
1576
01:33:34,292 --> 01:33:36,708
So, it's not like I'm really
leaving y'all behind.
1577
01:33:36,792 --> 01:33:38,500
It's just kinda I'm leaving
1578
01:33:38,583 --> 01:33:41,208
for a temporary amount of
time to upgrade, right?
1579
01:33:41,292 --> 01:33:44,333
Then when I come back,
you gonna be looking at
1580
01:33:44,417 --> 01:33:48,458
the new and improved...
I don't know who.
1581
01:33:48,542 --> 01:33:51,708
I don't know who, but yeah.
But yeah, I'm excited.
1582
01:33:51,792 --> 01:33:53,375
Excited.
1583
01:35:53,292 --> 01:35:55,792
Welcome, welcome, welcome
to the Piney Woods School.
1584
01:35:55,875 --> 01:35:59,125
My name is Will Crossley.
I am the president.
1585
01:35:59,208 --> 01:36:02,542
On behalf of the faculty
1586
01:36:02,625 --> 01:36:06,292
and staff of this institution,
1587
01:36:06,375 --> 01:36:10,125
we welcome you to this space.
1588
01:36:11,333 --> 01:36:13,583
Piney Woods' mission
1589
01:36:13,667 --> 01:36:17,708
is to prepare leaders
for tomorrow's challenges.
1590
01:36:18,333 --> 01:36:20,833
Would you help me as we celebrate
1591
01:36:22,167 --> 01:36:24,667
these remarkable young people?
1592
01:36:25,708 --> 01:36:29,667
The Piney Woods School
graduating class of 2023.
1593
01:36:29,750 --> 01:36:33,708
- Would you help me celebrate them?
1594
01:36:34,917 --> 01:36:37,875
I never understood why
my parents were so hard on me,
1595
01:36:37,958 --> 01:36:40,833
or why my Piney Woods family
was so hard on me.
1596
01:36:40,917 --> 01:36:44,417
It is because they saw something in me
that I couldn't see for myself.
1597
01:36:45,458 --> 01:36:46,958
I'm not done growing,
1598
01:36:47,042 --> 01:36:50,792
and to my peers in class of 2023...
1599
01:36:54,042 --> 01:36:56,542

1600
01:36:57,250 --> 01:37:00,125

He comes to us from Addis Ababa,
1604
01:37:28,917 --> 01:37:30,833
help me congratulate...
1605
01:37:31,750 --> 01:37:34,417
Around here, we just call him AB.

Abenezer Shiferaw.
1607
01:37:39,875 --> 01:37:41,792
My most memorable moment,
it would be today.
1608
01:37:52,625 --> 01:37:55,125
- Let's go!
- Hold on, don't scream!
1609
01:37:59,750 --> 01:38:03,042
Okay! Okay! Alright!
1610
01:38:03,125 --> 01:38:08,125
Help me congratulate
Khareym Tyreek Kelly.
1611
01:38:25,750 --> 01:38:29,708
I'm proud of the young people
we have before us.
1612
01:38:31,250 --> 01:38:35,250
I wanna leave them just with
this thought. It's a poem.
1613
01:38:35,333 --> 01:38:39,292
I hope that you will take this to heart
as you go out to change the world.
1614
01:38:41,958 --> 01:38:44,750
"Figure it out yourself, my lad.
1615
01:38:46,875 --> 01:38:50,167
"You've all that
the greatest of men have had.
1616
01:38:51,917 --> 01:38:55,958
"Two arms, two hands, two legs, two eyes,
1617
01:38:57,375 --> 01:39:00,250
and a brain to use if you would be wise."
1618
01:39:00,333 --> 01:39:01,750
This is crazy.
1619
01:39:01,833 --> 01:39:04,833
"With this equipment, they all began.
1620
01:39:06,333 --> 01:39:08,750
"So, start for the top,
1621
01:39:09,250 --> 01:39:11,250
"and say, 'I can.'
1622
01:39:11,958 --> 01:39:14,708
"You're well equipped
for the fight you choose.
1623
01:39:16,083 --> 01:39:19,792
"And the man who has
risen great deeds to do
1624
01:39:19,875 --> 01:39:23,833
"began his life with no more than you.
1625
01:39:25,542 --> 01:39:27,833
"You are the handicap you must face.
1626
01:39:29,000 --> 01:39:32,167
"You are the one who
must choose your place.
1627
01:39:32,917 --> 01:39:35,958
"So figure it out for yourself, my lad.
1628
01:39:37,250 --> 01:39:40,333
"You were born with all
that the great have had.
1629
01:39:41,500 --> 01:39:44,333
"With your equipment, they all began.
1630
01:39:45,250 --> 01:39:50,000
Get hold of yourself and say, 'I can.'"
1631
01:39:50,083 --> 01:39:51,083
You can.
1632
01:39:51,167 --> 01:39:54,333
I expect great things, great things,
great things of you.
1633
01:39:55,042 --> 01:39:59,375
God bless you. All rise for
the singing of the alma mater.
1634
01:40:00,417 --> 01:40:02,708
When one door closes,
another one opens.
1635
01:40:05,500 --> 01:40:08,083
And if all else fails,
go through a window.
